IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
231
To lower the vehicle, turn the jack handle extension
counterclockwise with the handle, making sure the handle remains
firmly fitted onto the jack handle extension.
Use only the wheel nut wrench to tighten the nuts. Do not use other
tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a
hammer, pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench is securely
engaged over the nut.
Tighten each nut a little at a time in the order shown. Repeat the
process until all the nuts are tight.
CAUTION

When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your
body and all other persons around will not be injured as the

As soon as possible after changing wheels, have the wheel

10. Reinstall the wheel ornament.
Put the wheel ornament into position and then tap it firmly with the
side or heel of your hand to snap it into place.
CAUTION
Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid unexpected
personal injury.
11. After changing the wheel, check the air pressure of the
replaced tire. Stow all the tools, jack and flat tire securely.
If the pressure of the replaced tire is low, drive slowly to the nearest
service station and fill to the correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire valve cap as dirt and moisture could
get into the valve core and possible cause air leakage. If the cap is
missing, put a new one on as soon as possible.
This is the same procedure for changing or rotating your tires.
