Tyre Changing

Mixing tyres could cause you to lose
control while driving.
If you mix tyres of different sizes,
brands, or types (radial and
bias-belted tyres), the vehicle may
not handle properly, and you could
have a crash. Using tyres of
different sizes, brands, or types may
also cause damage to your vehicle.
Be sure to use the correct size,
brand, and type of tyres on all
wheels.
Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare
wheel.
See Tyre Repair Kit on page 10-42.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
Pull your vehicle over to a safe
place away from traffic.
Park the vehicle on a level, firm
and non-skid surface. The front
wheels must be in the
straight-ahead position.
Apply the parking brake.
For manual gearbox, engage
first gear or reverse gear.
For automatic transmission,
engage P position.
Turn off the engine and
remove key.
Turn on the hazard lights.
Use a wedge, block of wood,
or rocks in front of and behind
the tyre that is diagonal from the
tyre you plan to change.
Have all passengers get out of
the vehicle.
Remove the spare wheel.
Black plate (50,1)
Never change more than one
wheel at once.
Use the jack only to change
wheels in case of puncture, not
for seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
If the ground on which the
vehicle is standing is soft, a solid
board (max. 1cm (0.4 inches)
thick) should be placed under
the jack.
No people or animals may be in
the vehicle when it is jacked-up.
Never crawl under a jacked-up
vehicle.
Do not start the vehicle when it
is raised on the jack.
Clean wheel nuts and thread
before mounting the wheel.
Warning
We designed the jack for use on
your vehicle only.
