Changing a wheel
The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the
wheel recess.
● Engage the parking brake.
● Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic) or in Reverse (manual).
● Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool kit.
● With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 - 1 turn. Turn the
bolts counterclockwise to loosen.
● Fold out the crank handle on the jack by pressing the nob on the handle downward. To attach the jack,
refer to the illustration on the following page.
NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in same
location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped
with a guide stud* to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when
changing over to winter tires/wheels).
* The guide stud is not visible from the outside of the wheel on turbo-charged models.
CAUTION: (Turbo-charged models) The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions.
The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
