5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling
when jacking up the vehicle, 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
needed.
NOTE
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 jack bar and wheel nut wrench
ready.
Refer to “Tools and jack” on page 8-05.
Spare wheel information*
E00803601872
The spare wheel is stored under the floor of
the luggage area.
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-
quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest
specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/
high-speed driving, varying load weight,
etc.).
CAUTION
l The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure
while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-12.)
Temporary spare wheel*
CAUTION
l The temporary spare wheel is for temporary
use only and should be removed as soon as
the original wheel can be repaired or re-
placed.
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in
excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using the
temporary spare wheel.
l The temporary spare wheel is not as good as
a standard wheel in controllability and sta-
bility.
When the temporary spare wheel is used,
avoid quick starts, sudden braking and sharp
steering.
l The temporary spare wheel is specifically
designed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle.
