An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision.
If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have
to act fast, steer quickly, and
just
as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.
Off-Road Recovery
You may find that your right wheels have dropped off the
edge
of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving.
I OFF-ROAD RECOVERY /
I
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should
be fairly easy. Ease off the
accelerator
and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer
so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
You can turn the steering wheel up to one-quarter turn
until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge.
Then
turn your steering wheel to go straight down
the roadway.

How to Add Coolant to the Radiator
1. You can remove the radiator pressure cap when the
cooling system, including the radiator pressure cap
and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. Turn the
pressure cap slowly counterclockwise until it first
stops. (Don’t press down while turning the
pressure cap.)
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap, but now push
down as
you turn it. Remove the pressure cap.

The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and
change a tire.
Removing the Spare Tire and Tools
The equipment you’ll
need
is in the trunk. Pull
the carpeting from the
floor
of the trunk. Turn
the center retainer bolt on
the spare tire cover to the
left (counterclockwise)
to remove it.
Lift
and remove the cover. See “Compact Spare Tire”
later
in this section for more information about the
compact spare.
Remove the spare tire
from the trunk.
5-26

The box that stores the
jack and wheel wrench is
located on the passenger side
trunk wall.
Open the
box and then
remove the wing bolt
by
turning it to the left
(counterclockwise).
Remove the jack and wheel wrench. The tools you'll be using include the jack
(A) and
wheel wrench
(B).

Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire
1. Use the wheel wrench to loosen the wheel nuts, but
don’t remove them.
2. Rotate the wheel wrench to the right (clockwise) to
raise the jack lift head until it fits under the vehicle.
5-29

5. Raise the vehicle by rotating the wheel wrench to the
right (clockwise). Raise the vehicle far enough off
the ground so there is enough room for the spare
tire to
fit.
6. Remove all the wheel nuts and take off the flat tire.
7. Remove any rust or dirt
from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces and
spare wheel.
I
A CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened,
CM make the wheel nuts
become loose after
a time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When you change a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from the places
where the wheel attaches
to the vehicle. In an
emergency, you can use a cloth or a paper towel
to
do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire
brush later, if you need to, to get all the rust or
dirt off.
