How to change a tyre
For emergencies 8-13
8
Tighten the wheel nuts until the tapered
parts of the wheel nuts make light contact
with the seats of the wheel holes and the
wheel is not loose.
9. Put the notch (K) provided on the jack
handle end on the valve (L) of the jack.
Using the jack handle, turn the release
valve anticlockwise slowly to lower the
vehicle until the tyre touches the ground.
10. Tighten the nuts crisscross in 2 or 3 steps
until each nut has been tightened securely.
11. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.
CAUTION
 Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts or they will tighten too much.
NOTE
 Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel spare wheel, but return to the original
wheel and tyre as soon as possible.
 If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.
WARNING
 Be sure to open the release valve slowly. If
it is opened quickly, the vehicle will drop
abruptly and the jack may come out of
position, causing a serious accident.
Tightening torque
Steel wheel: 137 to 157 N•m
Aluminium wheel: 118 to 137 N•m
(Achieved by applying a force at the end
of the wheel nut wrench supplied with
the vehicle.
Steel wheel: 510 to 580 N
Aluminium wheel: 440 to 500 N)
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
 If the release valve is loosened too much
(2 or more turns) in the anticlockwise direc-
tion, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack can-
not be used.
 Close the release valve slowly when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.
