Removing a Flat Tyre
WARNING
When jacking-up a vehicle, always
shift the shift lever to 1st or R (manual
transaxle vehicle) or shift the selector
lever to P (automatic transaxle
vehicle), apply the parking brake, and
place wheel blocks in the position
diagonally opposed to the jack:
Changing a flat tyre without using
wheel blocks is dangerous because the
vehicle may move and fall off the jack
even with the shift lever in 1st or R, or
the select lever is in P, which could
result in an accident.
1. Loosen the wheel nuts by turning them
anticlockwise one turn each, but do not
remove any wheel nuts until the tyre
has been raised off the ground.
2. Place the jack on the ground.
3. Turn the jack screw in the direction
shown in the figure and adjust the jack
head so that it is close to the jack-up
position.

4. Place the jack under the jack-up
position closest to the tyre being
changed with the jack head squarely
under the jack-up point.
