To change a wheel, use the following
procedure:
1) Remove the jack , tools and spare wheel
from the vehicle
2) Loosen, but do not remove the wheel
nuts.
3) Jack up the vehicle (follow the jacking
instructions in the EMERGENCY
SERVICE section in this manual)
4) Remove the wheel nuts and wheel.
5) Before installing the new wheel, clean
any mud or dirt off from the surface of
the wheel and hub with a clean cloth.
Clean the hub carefully; it may be hot

wheel nuts with their cone shaped end
facing the wheel. Tighten each nut
snugly by hand until the wheel is
securely seated on the hub.

Use MARUTI Genuine wheel nuts and
tighten them to the specified torque
as soon as possible after changing
wheels. Incorrect wheel nuts or
improperly tightened wheel nuts may

result in an accident. If you do not
have a torque wrench, have the wheel
nut torque checked by a MARUTI
SUZUKI authorized dealer.
