—Blocking the wheel  
Turn the jack joint by hand.  
To remove the spare tire:  
2. Block the wheel diagonally opposite  
the flat tire to keep the vehicle from  
rolling when it is jacked up.  
To remove: Turn the joint in direction 1  
until the jack is free.  
To store: Turn the joint in direction 2 until  
the jack is firmly secured to prevent it  
flying forward during a collision or sudden  
braking.  
1. Insert the end of the jack handle into  
the lowering screw and turn it counter-  
clockwise.  
When blocking the wheel, place a wheel  
block from the front for the front wheels  
or from the rear for the rear wheels.  
2. After the tire is lowered completely to  
the ground, remove the holding brack-  
et.  
When storing the spare tire, put it in place  
with the outer side of the wheel facing up.  
Then secure the tire, taking care that the  
tire goes straight up without catching on  
any other part, to prevent it from flying  
forward during a collision or sudden brak-  
ing.
