What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tyre (with spare tyre)
Changing tyres
䳜 Never attempt vehicle repairs in
the traffic lanes of a public road
or highway.
䳜 Always move the vehicle com
-
pletely off the road and onto the
shoulder before trying to change
a tyre. The jack should be used on
firm level ground. If you cannot
find a firm level place off the road,
call a towing service company for
assistance.
䳜 Be sure to use the correct front
and rear jacking positions on the
vehicle; never use the bumpers or
any other part of the vehicle for
jacking support.
䳜 The vehicle can roll off the jack
causing serious injury or death.
䳜 Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
䳜 Do not start or run the engine
whilst the vehicle is on the jack.
䳜 Do not allow anyone remain in the
vehicle whilst it is on the jack.
䳜 Make sure any children present
are in a secure place away from
the road and from the vehicle to
be raised with the jack.
Removing and storing the spare
tyre
Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt
counterclockwise.
Store the tyre in the reverse order
of removal.
To prevent the spare tyre and tools
from ä³–rattlingä³— whilst the vehicle is
in motion, store them properly.
If it is hard to loosen the tyre hold
-
down wing bolt by hand, you can
loosen it easily using the jack han
-
dle.
1. Put the jack handle (1) inside of
the tyre hold-down wing bolt.
