If you must change a tire ...
1. Before using jack, set parking brake by depressing brake pedal and
pull outward on parking brake handle. On steep grades, it may be
advisable to block the front or rear wheels as an extra precaution
against rolling.
2. Open luggage compartment and unscrew single lug nut to free spare
wheel and tire. Remove jack base, jack handle, spare wheel and
tire, and bumper jack.
3. Place jack base so that jack lip will contact underside of bumper at
outer edge of the vertical bumper bar on the flat tire side of the
car. Also place base so that it will be about one inch inward from
the outer edge of the bumper.
4. Put the jack mechanism lever in the UP position. Place lip of jack in
contact with the underside of the bumper against the outer edge of
the vertical bumper bar.
5. Use chisel end of jack handle to remove hub cover. Then place chisel
end of the jack in the jack mechanism and jack up the car. Note—If
tire to be changed is on a front wheel, jack up only a few notches
to be sure jack is secure, then start wheel lug nuts loose before
continuing the jacking up process. On rear wheels, the parking
brake will hold the wheel so that the nuts can be loosened after
the car has been jacked up.
6. On wheels on the left side of the car, the wheel lug nuts are
left-hand threaded. To remove them, use the hexagonal wrench end
of the jack handle and turn the nuts clockwise. On wheels on the
right side of the car, the nuts are removed by turning them
counterclockwise. Nuts are installed by turning them in the
direction opposite to that used in removing them.
7. Raise car with jack until wheel is free of the road and can revolve
freely. This is important to be sure you have enough clearance to
install spare. Remove flat tire and wheel and place spare wheel
and tire over studs. Install lug nuts and tighten uniformly and
firmly.
8. Lower jack by first placing jack mechanism lever in its DOWN position
and work the jack with the handle in the same manner as when
raising car.
9. Replace tools and spare in this order: Jack shaft and mechanism go
into the holder provided at the right of the spare wheel well.
Jack mechanism must fit snug against bulge of tire to prevent
rattling. Next install the spare wheel and tire, being sure the
hinged bolt comes through the wheel hub hole. Place retainer plate
over bolt and screw on the retainer nut. Wedge jack handle and
jack base between tire and well. Put luggage compartment lid
handle in closed position, _lock handle and remove key, and close
lid_.
