Tires
Your new vehicle comes
with high-quality tires made
by a leading tire manufacturer.
If you ever have questions about
your tire warranty and where to
obtain service, see your vehicle
Warranty booklet for details.
For additional information refer
to the tire manufacturer.
{CAUTION
Poorly maintained and improperly
used tires are dangerous.
•Overloading your tires can
cause overheating as a result
of too much flexing. You
could have an air-out and a
serious accident. See Vehicle
Load Limits on page 8-12 .
(Continued)
CAUTION (Continued)
•Underinflated tires pose the
same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked when
your tires are cold. See Tire
Pressure on page 9-49 .
•Overinflated tires are more
likely to be cut, punctured
or broken by a sudden
impact — such as when you
hit a pothole. Keep tires at
the recommended pressure.
•Worn, old tires can cause
accidents. If your tread is
badly worn, or if your tires
have been damaged,
replace them.

3. Remove the hook holdingthe jack (B) and remove
the jack (B).
4. Remove the jack handle (E) and wheel wrench (F) from
the passenger side of the
cargo area. 5. Remove the tire/wheel
retainer (D) from the compact
spare tire (A) and remove
the compact spare tire (A).
See Compact Spare Tire on
page 9-68.
6. Place the compact spare tire (A) next to the flat tire.
Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check beforeproceeding. See If a Tire Goes
Flat on page 9-62.
2. If the vehicle has steel wheels with plastic wheel nut caps,
loosen the plastic wheel nut caps.
You may need the wheel wrench
to loosen them. Do not pry off
wheel covers that have plastic
wheel nut caps.
3. Remove the wheel cover and set it off to the side.
4. Attach the jack handle to the jack and turn clockwise to raise the
lift head a little.
9-64 Vehicle Care

5. Loosen all the wheel nuts.Do not remove them yet.
6. Position the jack and raise the jack lift head to fit over the car
flange between the two notches.
{CAUTION
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.
{CAUTION
Raising your vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned can damage
the vehicle and even make the
vehicle fall. To help avoid personal
injury and vehicle damage, be
sure to fit the jack lift head into the
proper location before raising the
vehicle. 7. Turn the jack handle clockwise.
Raise the vehicle far enough off
the ground so there is enough
room for the compact spare tire
to fit underneath the wheel well.
Vehicle Care 9-65

12. Reinstall the wheel nuts withthe rounded end of the nuts
toward the wheel. Tighten each
nut by hand until the wheel
is held against the hub.
13. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise. Lower
the jack completely.{CAUTION
Wheel nuts that are improperly
or incorrectly tightened can cause
the wheels to become loose or
come off. The wheel nuts should
be tightened with a torque wrench
to the proper torque specification
after replacing. Follow the torque
specification supplied by the
aftermarket manufacturer when
using accessory locking wheel
nuts. See Capacities and
Specications on page 11-2 for
original equipment wheel nut
torque specifications.
Notice: Improperly tightened
wheel nuts can lead to brake
pulsation and rotor damage.
To avoid expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel nuts in
the proper sequence and to
the proper torque specication.
See
Capacities and Specifications
on page 11-2 for the wheel nut
torque specication.
14. Tighten the wheel nuts firmly in a crisscross sequence as
shown.

page 8-12 for the correct inflation
pressure.
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
when driving with a spare tire.
The spare tire is for temporary
emergency use only. Replace it with
a regular tire as soon as possible.
