What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tyre (with spare tyre)
removing the wheel lug nuts, make
sure the vehicle is stable and that
there is no chance for movement or
slippage.
9. 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 tyre, line up
the holes with the studs and slide the
wheel onto them.
If this is difficult, 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.
Wheels may have sharp edges. Handle
them carefully to avoid possible severe
injury. Before putting the wheel into
place, be sure that there is nothing on
the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,
gravel, etc.) that interferes with the
wheel from fitting solidly against the
hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not good
contact on the mounting surface
between the wheel and hub, the wheel
nuts could come loose and cause the
loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result in loss of control of the vehicle.
This may cause serious injury or death.
Important – use of compact spare
tyre (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare tyre. This compact spare tyre
takes up less space than a regular- size
tyre. This tyre is smaller than a conven
-
tional tyre and is designed for temporary
use only.
僅 You should drive carefully when the
compact spare is in use. The compact
spare should be replaced by the
proper conventional tyre and rim at
the first opportunity.
僅 The operation of this vehicle is not
recommended with more than one
compact spare tyre in use at the same
time.
The compact spare tyre is for emer
-
gency use only. Do not operate your
vehicle on this compact spare at the
speed over 80 km/h (50 mph). The orig
-
inal tyre should be repaired or replaced
as soon as possible to avoid failure of
the spare possibly leading to personal
injury or death.
The compact spare should be inflated to
420 kPa (60 psi).
Check the inflation pressure after install
-
ing the spare tyre. Adjust it to the speci
-
fied pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tyre,
observe the following precautions:
