-Blocking the wheel -Removing wheel ornament To remove the spare tire: 1. Insert the end of the jack handle extension into the lowering screw and turn it counterclockwise with the handle, making sure that the handle remains firmly fitted onto the jack handle extension. 2. After the tire is lowered completely to the ground, remove the holding bracket. 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 braking. 2. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire to keep the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up. When blocking the wheel, place a wheel block from the front for the front wheels or from the rear for the rear wheels. 3. Remove the wheel ornament. Pry off the wheel ornament, using the beveled end of the wheel ornament remover as shown. ! CAUTION Do not try to pull the ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury. 136
