Make sure to set the jack properly in the jacking point. Raising the vehicle with
an improperly positioned jack will damage the underbody of the vehicle or may
allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause personal injury.
• Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel changing
• Do not raise the jack with someone in the vehicle
• When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath
the jack
• Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and change the wheel
• Usable extended height of jack is up to the yellow line/mark. Do not raise the
jack above the yellow line.
• Follow jacking instructions
• Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.
Remove the wheel nuts. Lift the flat tyre straight off and place it aside. Roll the spare
wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Lift up the wheel
and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the wheel and press it
back over the other bolts.
Re-install the wheel nuts with the tapered end inward and tighten by hand. Press the
wheel inward and tighten the wheel nuts further.
Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead to over
tightening of the nuts, wheel nut spanner slip, damage the bolts and also may
cause personal injuries. Also, nuts may loosen and the wheels may fall off, which
could cause a serious accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean
before installing wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite wheel nuts using
the wheel nut spanner. Turn the jack handle extension counter clockwise using the
jack handle to lower the vehicle, making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto
the jack handle extension. Make sure the wheel spanner is securely engaged over
the nut. Tighten each nut a little at a time in the diagonally opposite order as shown.
Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight. Do not use other tools or any
additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
