spare tire location CHEVROLET ASTRO 1996 Owners Manual

1
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you ~
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it
is supported only by a jack.
NOTICE:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned will damage the vehicle or may allow
the vehicle to fall
off the jack. Be sure to fit the
jack lift head into the proper location before
raising
your vehicle.
Do not jack up the vehicle with people in or near
the vehicle.
7. Raise the vehicle by rotating the ratchet clockwise.
Make sure the
UP mark faces you. Raise the vehicle
far enough off the ground
so there is enough room
for the spare tire to fit.
8. Remove all the wheel nuts and take off the flat tire.

Put the flat tire on the ground at the rear of the
vehicle, with the valve stem pointed down.
Tilt retaining bar downward and through the wheel
opening. Make sure it is fully seated across the
underside of the wheel. Attach the ratchet, with the
UP side facing you, to the extension.
Put the
flat end of the extension on an angle through
the hole in the rear door frame, above the bumper.
Turn the ratchet clockwise until the tire is against the
underside
of the vehicle.
You will
feel two “clicks” when the tire is up all the
way. Try to move the tire with your hands to make
sure it is securely in place.
The compact spare is for temporary use only. Replace
the compact spare tire with a full-size tire
as soon as
you can. See “Compact Spare Tire” in the Index. See
the storage instructions label to restore your compact
spare properly.
Return the jacking equipment
to its proper location.
