What to do in an emergency
6
10. Changing wheels
Loosen the wheel nuts and remove
them with your fingers. Slide the
wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it
cannot roll away. To put the wheel on
the hub, pick up the spare tire, line
up the holes with the studs and slide
the wheel onto them. If this is diffi-
cult, tip the wheel slightly and get the
top hole in the wheel lined up with
the top stud. Then jiggle the wheel
back and forth until the wheel can be
slid over the other studs.
On a double-tire vehicle, first
remove the outside tire, then
remove the inner tire.
NOTICE
• Use only the jack included
with the vehicle and use it
only for changing a wheel.
• Position the jack on a hard
level surface.
• If the release valve is loos-
ened by turning it 2 or more
times in the counterclockwise
direction, the jack cannot be
used.
• This jack is hydraulic, and the
ram is a two-stage type. When
both rams are raised and the
stop mark of the upper ram
becomes visible, stop jacking
immediately.
Further extension of the ram
may damage the jack.
• When jacking up the vehicle,
do so only until the tires are
slightly lifted from the ground.
It is dangerous to jack up the
vehicle more than that much.

CAUTION
(Continued)
• It is very dangerous if the jack
somehow slips, so never
leave the vehicle in the
jacked-up position, and never
shake the vehicle while it is
raised.
Do not get under the vehicle
when it is supported by the
jack! This is very dangerous as
the vehicle could fall and cause
serious injury or death. No one
should stay in the vehicle while
the jack is being used.
