9. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designed on page 215. If the
pressure is lower, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and fill to the
correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire infla-
tion valve cap as dirt and moisture
could get into the valve core and
possibly cause air leakage. If the cap
is missing, have a new one put on as
soon as possible.
10. Restow all the tools, jack and
flat tire securely.
To secure the flat tire, use the flat tire
bolt in the tool bag. Stow the spare
tire bolt into the tool bag.
As soon after changing wheels as
possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 215 with a
torque wrench and have a technician
repair the flat tire.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are se-
curely in place in their storage
location to reduce the possibility
of personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden braking.
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it
forward and backward.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward
as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.
