3- 6 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
SD060A1-E IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE If a puncture occurs whilst driving the vehicle:
1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is
safe to do so and with the minimum amount of braking required which will assist in maintaining the maxi- mum amount of control. The vehicleshould be parked wherever pos- sible upon firm level ground to facili- tate wheel changing.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not per-mit the wheel to be changed safely,assistance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to
remain inside the vehicle duringwheel changing. If a puncture oc- curs whilst the vehicle is on a motorway, the passengers shouldtake refuge on the motorway em- bankment to avoid the possibility of injury occurring should the vehiclebe struck by other motorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be per-
formed according to the followinginstructions.
SD050A2-E SPARE WHEEL (Not all models) The spare wheel is stored under the luggage compartment floor and is ac-cessed from within the luggage com- partment by lifting the carpet and the floor panel.To remove the spare wheel, unscrew the retainer, rotating this in an anti clockwise direction and lift out thewheel. To replace the wheel, screw the retainer by hand until tight having located the wheel in the luggage com-partment floor well. The inflation pres- sure of the spare wheel should be checked at least monthly and when-ever the wheel is fitted to the vehicle.

Spare Tyre Pressure
Full Size 210 kPa (30 psi)
CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your temporary spare tyre.
o Do not use more than one tempo- rary spare tyre at a time.
!
5. The temporary spare tyre should
not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tyre, snow tyre,wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage tothese items or other car compo- nents may occur.
6. The temporary spare tyre pressure should be checked once a monthwhile the tyre is stored.

8- 4 CONSUMER INFORMATION
I050A01TB-EAT TYRE CHAINS Tyre chains, if necessary, should be installed on the front wheels. Be surethat the chains are the proper size and that they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.To minimize tyre and chain wear, do not continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed.
SI030A2-E SNOW TYRES If it is desired to fit snow tyres to the vehicle, it must be ascertained that theoriginal size and load carrying capacity are met by the replacement tyres. When using snow tyres, the vehicle shouldnot be driven at speeds in excess of 60 MPH.
I060A01FC-EAT TYRE ROTATION The tyre wear characteristics will vary between each tyre dependant upon the conditions of use. It is normal for the front tyres to wear more rapidly thanthose fitted to the rear of the vehicle and therefore tyre rotation will provide a means of helping to ensure an evenwear rate across the tyre set. For ve- hicles fitted with radial ply tyres, rota- tion should be confined to front to reartyre alternation. It is not recommended that radial ply tyres be rotated from side to side.
!WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire & plastic chains.
o Don't use the tyre chains in 185/
55R 15 tyre to prevent body dam- age.
o If you have noise caused by chaws
contacting the body, retighten thechain to avoid contact with the vehicle body.
o Retighten the chains to prevent from a body damage after driving0.5 ~ 1 km with equipping chains.
