Replacement of Flat Tires
The dimensions of the emergency spare tires
and their rims of this vehicle are the same as
those of the damaged wheels.
After an emergency spare tire is installed, the
steering performance of the vehicle will change.
Please rationally control vehicle speed, and
avoid abrupt acceleration and emergency
braking.
Emergency spare tires can only be used for a
short period of time.
The maximum vehicle speed should not exceed
70km/h.
While driving, do NOT use more than one
emergency spare tire.
Preparatory Work
If you find that a tire is flat, you should slowly
drive the vehicle to a flat place where safe
maintenance can be performed so as to prevent
further damage to the tire and the rim. Also, put
a warning triangle in a suitable place behind the
vehicle, and turn on the emergency warning
light.
Warning
There are risks when tires are replaced. The
vehicle may slide off the jack, tip over or fall
upon you or others, thus causing serious
injury.
Please find a flat and safe place to replace
tires. The relevant laws and regulations must
be strictly complied with. All passengers
must leave the vehicle and wait in a safe
place.
To prevent the vehicle from moving, the
following measures should be taken:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Set the shift lever to the Neutral Gear “N”.
3. Turn off the engine. When the vehicle is
being lifted, do NOT start the engine again.
4. Do NOT let passengers stay inside the
vehicle.
To further ensure that the vehicle will not move,
you may place a stopper in front of and behind
the tire which is farthest away from the tire to
be replaced (e.g. the tire which is diagonal to the
tire to be replaced).
