CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
The procedure described on the following pages
can be used to rotate tires as well as to change
a flat tire. When preparing to change a flat tire,
check to be sure the gear selector lever is in "P"
(automatic transmission) or reverse gear (manual
transmission) and that the parking brake is set,

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and
let the car slow down while driving straight
ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediately
or attempt to pull off the road as this may
cause a loss of control. When the car has
slowed to such a speed that it is safe to do so,
brake carefully and pull off the road. Drive off
the road as far as possible and park on firm,
level ground. If you are on a divided highway,
do not park in the median area between the
two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on your emer-
gency hazard flashers, set the parking brake
and put the transmission in "P" (automatic
transmission) or reverse (manual transmis-
sion).
3. Have all passengers get out of the car. Be
sure they all get out on the side of the car that
is away from traffic.
4. Change the tire according to the instructions
provided as following.
5. Remove the lift plate from the center of the
spare tire after the spare tire is lowered com-
pletely.
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
When installing, turn the wheel nut wrench
clockwise till you hear the crackle once or
twice(Tightening torque : 3.87 kg m). And
make sure the spare tire is secured in the
proper location.

2. Insert the spare wheel rod into the hole in the
upper pad of the rear bumper.
3. Connect the wheel nut wrench to the spare
wheel rod.
4. Turn the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise
and the spare tire will lower.
