!
WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is
supported by the jack! This is very
dangerous as the jack could fall and
cause serious injury or death. No
one should stay in the car while the
jack is being used.
D060F02E-AAT5. Raising the Car
After inserting a bar into the wheel nut
wrench, install the bar into the jack as
shown in the drawing. To raise the
vehicle, turn the jack handle clockwise.
As the jack begins to raise the vehicle,
double check that it is properly posi-
tioned and will not slip. If the jack is on
soft ground or sand, place a board,
brick, flat stone or other object under
the base of the jack to keep it from
sinking.

D060G02Y-AAT6. Changing Wheels
Loosen the wheel nuts and remove
them with your fingers. Slide the wheel
off the studs and lay it flat so it cannot
roll away. To put the wheel on the hub,
pick up the spare tire, line up the holes
with the studs and slide the wheel onto
them. If this is difficult, tip the wheel
slightly and get the top hole in the wheel
lined up with the top stud. Then jiggle
the wheel back and forth until the wheel
can be slid over the other studs.
HGK4031
Raise the car high enough so that the
fully inflated spare tire can be installed.
To do this, you will need more ground
clearance than is required to remove
the flat tire.
