How to change a tyre
E00801202523
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehicle in a
safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with M/T, turn the ignition key
to the “LOCK” position, move the gearshift
lever to the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with A/T, move the selector lev-
er to the “P” (PARK) position, turn the igni-
tion key to the “LOCK” position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set
up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it
is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks
(A) at the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing.
WARNING
l
Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE
l
The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if nee-
ded.
l
If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack, jack handle and
wheel nut wrench ready.
NOTE
l
Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the jack. This makes it safer if the jack
slips out of position.
7. On vehicles with wheel covers, first remove
the covers (refer to “Wheel covers” on page
6-13). Then loosen the wheel nuts with the
wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the wheel
nuts yet.
8. Find the closest jacking point to the flat tyre
(refer to the “Jacking up the vehicle” on page
6-07). Then position the jack and raise the ve-
hicle until the tyre is slightly off the ground.
9. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut
wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUTION
l
Handle the wheel carefully when chang-
ing the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel
surface.
10. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub surface
(C), hub bolts (D) or in the installation holes
(E) in the wheel, and then mount the spare tyre.
For emergencies
