WARNING
l
Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (I) facing outboard. If you cannot see
the valve stem (I), you have installed the
wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare
wheel installed backwards can cause vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident.
7. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand
to initially tighten them.
[Type 1: On vehicles with steel wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the tapered parts of the wheel
nuts make light contact with the seats of
the wheel holes and the wheel is not
loose.
[Type 2: On vehicles with aluminium
wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flange parts of the wheel
nuts make light contact with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
Type 1
Type 2
NOTE
l Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel spare wheel as shown in the illustra-
tion, but return to the original wheel and tyre
as soon as possible.

How to change a tyre
CAUTION
l
Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE
l On vehicles with aluminium wheels, if all 4
aluminium wheels are changed to steel
wheels. e. g. when fitting winter tyres, use
tapered nuts.
8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in
the illustration until each nut has been
tightened to the torque listed here.
