• When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath
the jack.
• Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and change the wheel.
• Follow jacking instructions
• Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack.
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.
Remove the wheel nuts. Lift the flat tire straight off and place it aside. Roll the spare
wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Lift up the wheel
and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the wheel and press it
back over the other bolts.
Re-install the wheel nuts with the tapered end inward and tighten by hand. Press the
wheel inward and tighten the wheel nuts further.
Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead to over
tightening the nuts, wheel nut spanner slip, damage the bolts and also may
cause personal injuries. Also, nuts may loosen and the wheels may fall off, which
could cause a serious accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean
before installing wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite wheel nuts using
the wheel nut spanner. Turn the jack handle extension counter clockwise using the
jack handle to lower the vehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto
the jack handle extension. Tighten each nut a little at a time in the diagonally opposite
order. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight. Do not use other tools or any
additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel nuts are dangerous. The wheel could
wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and cause a
serious accident. Always make sure all the wheel nuts are properly/securely
tightened to the specified torque.
When lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your body are clear off the
vehicle as it is lowered to the ground. Have the wheel nuts tightened with the
torque spanner to the required torque, as soon as possible after changing
wheels.
If you have rotated , repaired , changed your tires or changed the wheel rims,
check the wheel nuts are still tight (to the reqd. torque) after driving about
1000 Kms.
Check the air pressure of the replaced tire. If the pressure is lower than
recommended, drive slowly to the nearest service station and inflate to the correct
pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct. Always reinstall the valve cap
after checking or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not replaced, dirt and moisture
could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and install it as soon as possible.
Restore all the Tools, Jack and Flat Tire
Mount the flat tire back to the bracket on the rear of the vehicle. Double check to
ensure the flat tire is secure and not loose. Replace the tools (jack, wheel spanner,
etc.,) in their storage location.
It is recommended to fix the flat tire at the nearest tire shop and swap the
spare wheel back. The wheel balance and alignment differ from wheel to wheel.
This may lead to steering and braking issues.
