Owners Manual

WARNING
l
Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE
l
The
chocks shown in the
illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if nee-
ded.
l
If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack, jack handle and
wheel nut wrench ready.
NOTE
l
Put
the spare wheel under
the vehicle body
near the flat tyre. This makes it safer if the
jack slips out of position.
7. Loosen
the wheel nuts with the wheel nut
wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts yet.
Five wheel nuts
Six wheel nuts
8. Find the closest jacking point to the flat tyre
(refer to “Jacking up
the vehicle” on page
6-13). Then position the jack and raise the ve-
hicle until the tyre is slightly off the ground.
9. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut
wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUTION
l
Handle the wheel carefully when chang-
ing the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel
surface.
10. Clean
out any mud, etc. on the hub surface
(C),
hub
bolts
(D)
or in the installation holes
(E) in the wheel, and then mount the spare
wheel.
WARNING
l
Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (F) facing outboard. If you cannot
see the valve stem (F), you have installed
the wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare
wheel installed backwards can cause vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident.
