•
The deflated full size spare tire cannot be
repaired or mounted using conventional
shop equipment. This work always has to
be performed by the man ufacturer of the
collapsible tire.
• All the air must be let out of the tire after
use before stowing it in the storage area
prov ided for it in the vehicle. Once all the air
is out, the tire will return to its original form.
To let the air out of the tire, either use a
sharp object to press down on the metal pin
in the valve, or use the valve-remo ving tool
on the back side of the dust cap to unscrew
the valve stem. Changing
a wheel
�W ARNING
You or your passengers could be
injured while changing a wheel if
you do not follow safety precau­
tions:
• If you have a flat tire, move a
safe distance off the road. Turn off
the engine, turn the emergency
flasher on and use other warning
devices to alert other motorists.
• Passengers must not rema in in
the vehicle when it is jacked up.
This includes children as well as
adults.
• Make sure that passengers wait
in a safe place away from the ve­
hicle and well away from the road­
way and traffic.
• Before you change a wheel, be
sure the ground is level and firm.
If necessary, use a sturdy board
under the jack. DO-IT-YOURSELF

�� WARN ING continued
• After installing the spare wheel,
make sure that you remount the
flat tire/Wheel in its storage area
properly and tighten the plastic
knurled screw securely.
• To help prevent the vehicle from
moving suddenly and possibly
slipping off the jack, always fully
set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel being changed. When one
front wheel is lifted off the
ground, placing the automatic
transmission in P (Park) will not
prevent vehicle movement.

Yo u or your passengers could be
injured while changing a wheel if
you do not follow safety precau­
tions:
• Jacking at any other place may
damage the vehicle or may result
in personal injuries.
• An unstable surface under the
jack may cause the vehicle to slip
off the jack. Always provide a firm
base for the jack on the ground. If
necessa ry. use a sturdy board un­
der the jack.
• On hard. slippery surface (such
as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar
to prevent the jack from slipping.

Inflating the deflated full size
spare tire
• Remove the dust cap from the valve (1 l
by unscrewing it.
• Take the pressure compressor hose out
of the case, and screw the coupling nut se­
curely onto the valve.
• Insert the compressor· connector in to
the socket located on the side of the lug­
gage compartment or inset it ino the ciga­
rette lighter socket -see page 181.
272 •
Turn on the compressor. The required tire
pressure wil be reached within a few min­
utes. Use a pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure. Never operate the compressor
for longer than 5 minutes.
Note
Yo u'll find adhesive labels on the deflated
full size spare tire containing i nstn .1ctions for
using the tire as well as information on the
specified tire pressure.
Step S
• Un screw the pressure hose from the val­
ve and screw the dust cap back on.
• To lower the vehicle, turn the handle
counter-clockwise until the jack is fully re­
leased. Remove jack.
• Then go crosswise from one bolt to
another tightening them firmly.
• If necessary, press the hubcap back onto
the hub of the spare wheel. Step
9
• Slip the plastic cover over the wheel con­
taining the flat tire. Then stow this wheel in
the luggage comopartment and secure it so
that it does not shift.
• Carefully observe the points on
page 288 when using the deflated
full size spare tire.
Notes
• The hex socket in the screwdriver can be
used to make it easier to handle the wheel
bolts. To do this, pull out the revers ible bla-
de. ·
Never use this plastic tool to loosen
or tighten the wheel bolts.
After you change a tire:
• Deactivating the jack moda -see
page 268.
• Use a torque wrench to check the
wheel bolt tightening torque as
soon as possible. With alloy wheels
and a deflated full size spare tire, the
torque should be 88.5 ft-lb (120
Nm).

•
Be sure to check the tire pressure
as quickly as possible after you
install a wheal that is fitted with
new tires.
If you notice while changing a tire
that the wheal bolts are corroded
and difficult to turn, then they
should be replaced before you
check the tightening torque.
Until then, drive with extra care and
at reduced speeds. m
WARNING
• If you are going to equip your ve­
hicle with tires or rims which dif­
fer from those which were factory
installed, then be sure to read the
information on page 257.
• Always store damaged wheel,
jack and tools securely in luggage
compartment. DO-IT-YO
