Precautions for replacing damaged wheel
In case of burst, pierced, bulged or leaky tire,
please read the following safety instructions for
safe and proper wheel replacement.
Wear gloves and take appropriate protecting
measures to prevent injury before changing a
wheel.
● Make sure the vehicle is parked reliably
and the shift lever is at “P” position.
● If there is heavy traffic on the road and it
is in close proximity to the faulty vehicle,
contact the roadside service instead of
replacing the wheel.
● Never replace a wheel when you drive the
vehicle on a slope, icy road or smooth
road as the vehicle may slip off the jack
and tip over, causing a serious accident.
● All occupants must leave the vehicle and
wait at a safe place (e.g., beyond the
highway guardrail).
● Before use the jack, read the precautions
label pasted on the jack.
● Place the jack on a solid and flat ground,
and never place any pad above or below
the jack.
● Never jack up the vehicle at other
positions rather than the specified jacking
point.
● Never jack the vehicle too high.
● Never start or run the engine when the
vehicle is jacked up; otherwise sudden
movement of the vehicle may cause an
accident.
● When the vehicle is jacked up, never stay
under the vehicle, so as to avoid
accidents.
● The jack provided for this vehicle can only
be used to replace the wheels of the
vehicle, rather than lift other heavy
objects or other vehicles.
● It is not easy to remove the wheel
sometimes when wheel bolts have been
removed. Be sure to keep the vehicle
stable while removing the wheel forcibly.
