1. On vehicles with wheel covers, first
remove the covers (refer to “Wheel cov-
ers” on page 8-12). Then loosen the wheel
nuts with the wheel nut wrench. Do not
remove the wheel nuts yet.
2. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points (A) shown in the illustration. Use
the jacking point closest to the tire you
wish to change.
3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange
portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the top
of the jack.
4. Insert the bar (D) into the wheel nut
wrench (E). Then put the end of the bar
into the shaft’s jack end, as shown in the
illustration.
Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until
the tire is raised slightly off the ground
surface.

WARNING
 Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
 Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a
flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack,
make sure there are no sand or pebbles
under the jack base.
