Never crawl under or allow any part of

your body to be extended under a vehi-

cle supported by a jack.

Installing a wheel

•

WARNING

Wheel changes must always be carried out

correctly. The following instructions show

how to install a wheel and what is important

to keep in mind.

Apply the parking brake and put the

gear selector in the Park (P) position.

•

Block the wheels standing on the

ground, use rigid wooden blocks or

large stones.

The vehicle must be raised high enough so

that the wheel you are removing can turn

freely.

CAUTION

When not in use, the jack* should be

kept in its storage compartment under

the cargo compartment floor.

•

Check that the jack is not damaged,

the threads are properly lubricated and

it is free from dirt.

•

1. Clean the contact surfaces between the

wheel and the wheel hub.

The jack provided with your vehicle is

intended to be used only in temporary

situations such as changing wheels in

the event of a flat tire. Only the jack

that came with your particular model

should be used to lift the vehicle. If the

vehicle needs to be lifted more fre-

quently or for a prolonged period, using

a garage jack or hoist is recommended.

Always follow this device's instructions

for use.

2. Lift the wheel into place. Tighten the

wheel bolts securely.

Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-

slippery surface and that it is upright

and not leaning.

Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.

The jack must correctly engage in the

jack attachment.

•

3. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel can-

not rotate.

No objects should be placed between

the base of the jack and the ground, or

between the jack and the attachment

bar on the vehicle.

Never let anyone remain in the vehicle

when it is raised on a jack.

•

If a tire must be changed near passing

traffic, make sure all passengers move

to a safe location.

Use a jack intended for the vehicle

when changing a tire. For any other

job, use stands to support the vehicle.

NOTE

The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and

can be used to temporarily replace a punc-

tured tire on one of the vehicle's regular

wheels.

The spare tire is only intended for temporary

use. Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as

possible.

After inflating a tire, always replace the

valve cap to help prevent valve damage

tightened. Tighten to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.).

Use a torque wrench to check torque.

Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps

could corrode and become difficult to

remove.

The driving characteristics of the vehicle

change and ground clearance reduces when

the spare wheel is used. Do not wash the vehi-

cle in an automatic car wash while using the

Temporary Spare.

WARNING

Current legislation prohibits the use of the

"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a

temporary replacement for a punctured

tire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-

ble by a standard tire. Road holding and

handling may be affected with the "Tempo-

rary Spare" in use. Do not drive faster than

80 km/h (50 mph).

WARNING

The wheel bolts may need to be tightened

again several days after a wheel change.

Temperature fluctuations and vibrations

can cause them to loosen slightly.

Not available on all models.
