The procedure described on the following pages
can be used to rotate tires as well as to change
a flat tire. When preparing to change a flat tire,
check to be sure the gear selector lever is in "P"
(automatic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle)
and that the parking brake is set, then:

If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and
let the car slow down while driving straight
ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediately
or attempt to pull off the road as this may
cause a loss of control. When the car has
slowed to such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the road. Drive
off the road as far as possible and park on
firm, level ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median area
between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on your emer-
gency hazard flashers, set the parking brake
and put the transaxle in "P" (automatic) or
reverse (manual transaxle).
3. Have all passengers get out of the car. Be
sure they all get out on the side of the car that
is away from traffic.
4. Change the tire following the instructions
provided on the following pages.

To reinstall the wheel cover, hold it on the studs,
put the wheel nuts on the studs and tighten them
finger tight. The nuts should be installed with
their small diameter ends directed inward. Jiggle
the tire to be sure it is completely seated, then
tighten the nuts as much as possible with your
fingers again.

D060J01E-AAT
After Changing Wheels
Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel
nut wrench counterclockwise. Then position
the wrench as shown in the drawing and tighten
the wheel nuts. Be sure the socket is seated
completely over the nut. Do not stand on the
wrench handle or use an extension pipe over
the wrench handle.
Go around the wheel tightening every other nut
until they are all tight. Then double-check each
nut for tightness. After changing wheels, have
a technician tighten the wheel nuts to their
proper torque as soon as possible.
Wheel nut tightening torque:Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel:
65-80 lb.ft (900-1,100 kg.cm)If you have a tire gauge, remove the valve cap
and check the air pressure. If the pressure is
lower than recommended, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and inflate to the correct
pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is correct.
Always reinstall the valve cap after checking or
adjusting tire pressure. If the cap is not re-
placed, air may leak from the tire. If you lose a
valve cap, buy another and install it as soon as
possible.
After you have changed wheels, always secure
the flat tire in its place in the trunk and return the
jack and tools to their proper storage locations.
