initially tighten them. Temporarily tighten
the wheel nuts by hand until the flange

wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.

10. Lower and remove the jack, then store the
jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi-
ble.

next gas station. The correct tyre pres-
sures are shown on the driver’s door label.

CAUTION
 Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts or they will tighten too much.
CAUTION
 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.
CAUTION
 After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 1000 km, retighten the wheel nuts
to make sure that they have not come loose.
 If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tyre, we recommend you
to have the tyres checked for balance.
