Steps
Get the spare and tools
Park on firm, level ground away from traffic, switch on hazards, and secure the vehicle as directed in the owner's manual. Lift the trunk liner and remove the spare and jack kit.
Raise the vehicle and remove the flat
Loosen the lug nuts slightly before lifting. Place the factory jack only at the marked pinch-weld point, raise until the tire clears, then remove the nuts and wheel.
Mount and secure the spare
Seat the spare squarely on the hub and start every lug nut by hand. Snug them in a crossing pattern, lower the vehicle, tighten to the manual specification, then stow the flat and tools.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
