For emergencies
CAUTION
!
● The compact spare tyre is to be used only temporar-
ily when the standard tyre is damaged. Repair the
damaged tyre as soon as possible and use it to
replace the compact spare tyre.
● After changing the tyre and driving the vehicle
about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the wheel nuts
to make sure that they have not come loose.
● If the steering wheel vibrates when driving after
changing the tyre, we recommend that you have the
tyres checked for balance.
● Do not mix one type of tyre with another or use a
different size from the one listed. This will cause
early wear and poor handling.

Wheel covers*
To remove
1. Wrap the tip of the wheel nut wrench (if so equipped) or
straight blade (or minus) screwdriver 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 completely 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
● The wheel cover is made of plastic; take care when prying
it off.
