98 to 118 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force of 440 to
520 N at the end of the wheel nut wrench sup-
plied with the vehicle.)
CAUTION
l Never use your foot or a pipe extension
for extra force in the wheel nut wrench.
If you do so, you will tighten the nut too
much.
13. Lower and remove the jack, then store the
jack, flat tyre, and chock. Have your dam-
aged tyre repaired as soon as possible.
14. Check your tyre inflation pressure. The cor-
rect pressures are shown on the door label.
See the illustration.
CAUTION
l The tyre pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
l The compact spare tyre is to be used only
temporarily when the standard tyre is
damaged. Repair the damaged tyre as
soon as possible and use it to replace the
compact spare tyre.
l
After changing the tyre and driving the ve-
hicle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retight-
en the wheel nuts to make sure that they
have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driv-
ing after changing the tyre, we recom-
mend you to have the tyres checked for
balance.
l Do not mix one type of tyre with another
or use a different size from the one listed.
This would cause early wear and poor han-
dling.

To remove
1. Wrap the tip of the wheel nut wrench (if so
equipped) or straight blade (or minus) screw-
driver with a cloth, insert it deeply behind a
spoke of the wheel cover, and use it to lever
up the cover a little.
2. With the cover raised a little, pry it off com-
pletely using the wheel nut wrench. Insert
the wheel nut wrench under the cover, and
move it around the circumference, prying the
cover away from the wheel little by little as
you move the wheel nut wrench around.
NOTE
l The wheel cover is made of plastic; take care
when prying it off.
