■Replacing a flat tire
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury.
●Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it from under the
vehicle.
●Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the
ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
●Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and the wheels
may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.
