7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Installing the spare tire

Remove any dirt or foreign mat-

ter from the wheel contact sur-

If foreign matter is on the wheel con-

tact surface, the wheel nuts may

loosen while the vehicle is in motion,

causing the tire to come off.

Install the spare tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by hand by

approximately the same amount.

When replacing an aluminum

wheel with an aluminum wheel,

turn the wheel nuts until the

washers come into contact with

the disc wheel.

When replacing an aluminum

wheel with a steel wheel, tighten

the wheel nuts until the tapered

portion comes into loose contact

with the disc wheel seat.
