To change a tyre
E00803200305
1. On vehicles equipped with wheel covers,
first remove the covers (refer to “Wheel cov-
ers” on page 6-12). Then loosen the wheel
nuts a quarter turn with the wheel nut
wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts yet.
2. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points (A) shown in the illustration. Use the
jacking point closest to the tyre you wish to
change.
WARNING
l Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
l Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a
flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack,
make sure there are no sand or pebbles
under the jack base.
3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange por-
tion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the top of
the jack.
4. Insert the bar (D) into the wheel nut wrench
(E). Then put the end of the bar into the
shaft’s jack end, as shown in the illustration.
Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until the
tyre is raised slightly off the ground surface.
