Replace the wheel
6. Remove the wheel nuts and replace the wheel, and replace the deflated tire on one
side. Move the spare wheel to the mounting position and align the bolts with the wheel
holes. Lift the wheel until the top bolt passes through the appropriate screw hole.
■ Turn the tire and push it back until the other bolts pass through their appropriate screw
holes.
■ Before installing the wheel, remove all the corrosion or the likes on the mounting
surface with a wire brush.
● When installing the wheel, ensure that the mounting surface is in good contact;
otherwise, the wheel nuts may be loosened and even fallen off during driving
process.
Reinstall the wheel nuts
7. Reinstall all wheel nuts.
■ When reinstalling the wheel nuts, first install the wheel nuts by hand, push the wheel
back and tighten the wheel nuts again.
● Do not apply oil or lubricant on the bolts or nuts; otherwise, it may cause the nuts to
be tightened excessively and even damaged. Therefore, the nuts may be loosened,
resulting in the wheel falling off and even a serious accident.
● If the oil or lubricant is applied on the bolts or nuts, it must be cleaned completely.
Lower the car
8. Lower the car completely and
tighten the wheel nuts and install
the wheel nut trim covers.
■ Turn the jack handle
counterclockwise to lower the car.
