8. Handling of Accident
Remove the Flat Tire
– Remove the wheel bolts with the wrench with
the tire off the ground.
– Remove the flat tire.
Installing the Spare Tire
– Mount the spare tire on the vehicle.
– Install all wheel bolts, and pre-tighten them
with the wrench as per the orders 1-5 shown in
the figure.
– Give oral warning to ensure there is no other
one around the vehicle. Turn the jack handle in
a reverse direction to lower down the vehicle.
– Tighten all wheel bolts with the wrench.
– Remember the location of each tool and put
the tool back and fix it to its original location
after use to avoid noise from the vehicle during
driving.
Caution
Go to the authorized GAC Motor's dealer
to check the wheel bolt tightening torque (120
±10N•m for aluminium wheels and 110±10N•m for
steel wheels) in time after a spare tire is
installed. Otherwise, the bolt may loosen
during driving, resulting in traffic accidents.
Warning
• Keep the threads of the wheel bolts and hub
clean, and make sure the bolts can be
screwed easily and there must be no
attachments such as grease.
• When a tire is replaced, if any bolt is corroded
or difficult to screw, replace it and clean the
threaded hole.
• The spare tire/ replaced tire must be securely
fixed on the spare tire installation position.
