NOTE
Take care when lowering the vehicle, as
sudden closure of the jack release valve
can cause damage to the jack.
3. Remove the jack.
NOTE
(1) Occasionally, when the vehicle is
raised, the grooved portion of the ram
will not disengage. When this hap-
pens, rock the vehicle to lower the ram.
(2) When the jack is difficult to remove by
hand, insert the jack handle into the
holder and hook the jack handle notch
onto the holder notch and secure it
there. Then pull the jack handle and
remove the jack.
4. Press the piston down all the way, and
turn the release valve clockwise as far
as possible.
5. Store the jack and jack handle.
WARNING
(1) Raise the vehicle so the tyre just
clears the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any
higher.
(2) Never get under the vehicle while
using the jack. Avoid jarring the
raised vehicle or leaving it sup-
ported on the jack for any longer
than required. Both are very
dangerous.
(3) Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the jack.
The vehicle might start moving
causing the vehicle to fall down
from the jack.
(4) Do not turn the jacked up
wheels. The tyres remaining on
the ground may turn, causing
the vehicle body to fall down
from the jack.
(5) No one should stay in the vehicle
while the jack is used.
CAUTION
Use only the jack included with the
vehicle, and use it only for chang-
ing wheels.

Type 2On the aluminium wheel type vehicle (Type
2), temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flanges of the wheel nuts
come into contact with the wheel.
NOTE
(1) Flange nuts (Type 2) can be tempo-
rarily used on the steel wheel, but
return to the original wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.
(2) If all four wheels on vehicles with flange
nuts (Type 2) are changed to steel
wheels, use tapered nuts (Type 1).
CAUTION
Never apply oil to either wheel bolts
or nuts, as it will cause them to over-
tighten.
N24A286A
9. Lower the vehicle slowly and then
tighten the nuts crisscross in two or
three steps until each nut has been
tightened securely.
Tightening torque:
98 to 118 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force of 370 to
430 N at the end of the wheel nut
wrench supplied with the vehicle)
CAUTION
Never use extra force by your foot to
the wheel nut wrench or by using a
pipe extension as you can over-
tighten the nut.
