2.3 How to remove a wheel
1. Securely apply the parking brake. Apply chocks
to the front and back (as seen from the side of
the vehicle) of the wheel diagonally opposite the
one that is to be jacked up.
2. Position the jack under the jacking point of the
vehicle and raise the vehicle to a point at which
the tire is still touching the ground.
NOTE:
Socket wrenches for use in jacking up the vehicle or
loosening/tightening the wheel nuts are not included
in the onboard tools.
3. Slightly loosen the wheel nuts by turning them in
the illustrated direction. Do not remove the nuts.
For right-hand wheel
For left-hand wheel
NOTE:
The wheel nuts on the right-hand wheel are marked
with “R” and have right-hand threads. Those on the
left-hand wheel are marked with “L” and have left-
hand threads.
WARNING
• After raising the vehicle slightly, confirm
that the jack is securely in position.
If the jack slipped out of position with the
vehicle fully raised, the vehicle could fall
and cause a serious injury.
• Apply the jack only to designated jacking
points. Applying the jack elsewhere could
damage the vehicle and cause the jack to
slip out of position.
• Never rock or climb below the vehicle
when it is jacked up since movement of
the jack could result in a serious injury or
in damage to the vehicle.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is
jacked up.
• It is dangerous to leave the vehicle jacked
up for long periods. If you need to raise
the vehicle for an extended period, sup-
port it with suitable stands placed against
the bottom surfaces of the frame.
