Changing wheels
To change a wheel, use the following pro-
cedure:
1) Remove the jack (if equipped), tools
and spare wheel from the vehicle.
2) Loosen, but do not remove the wheel
bolts.
3) Jack up the vehicle (follow the jacking
instructions in this section).
4) Remove the wheel bolts and wheel.
5) Before installing the new wheel, clean
any mud or dirt off from the surface of
the wheel and hub with a clean cloth.
Clean the hub carefully; it may be hot
from driving.

• Shift into “P” (Park) for an automatic
transaxle or CVT, or into “R”
(Reverse) for a manual transaxle
vehicle when you jack up the vehi-
cle.

Use genuine wheel nuts and tighten
them to the specified torque as soon
as possible after changing wheels.
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts may come
loose or fall off, which can result in
an accident. If you do not have a
torque wrench, have the wheel nut
torque checked by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
