(Achieved by applying a force of 350 to
420 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench
supplied with the vehicle.)
CAUTION
l
Never use your foot or a pipe extension
for extra force in the wheel nut wrench.
If you do so, you will tighten the nut too
much.
10. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.
11. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the next
gasstation. The correct pressures are shown
on the driver’s door label. See the illustra-
tion.
CAUTION
l
The tyre pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
l
The compact spare tyre is to be used only
temporarily when the standard tyre is
damaged. Repair the damaged tyre as
soon as possible and use it to replace the
compact spare tyre.
l
After changing the tyre and driving the
vehicle about 1000 km (620 miles), re-
tighten the wheel nuts to make sure that
they have not come loose.
l
If the steering wheel vibrates when driv-
ing after changing the tyre, we recom-
mend you to have the tyres checked for
balance.
l
Do not mix one type of tyre with another
or use a different size from the one listed.
This would cause early wear and poor
handling.
