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 vehicle
should 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 during
wheel changing. If a puncture oc-
curs whilst the vehicle is on a
motorway, the passengers should
take refuge on the motorway em-
bankment to avoid the possibility of
injury occurring should the vehicle
be struck by other motorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be per-
formed according to the following
instructions.

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 the
wheel. 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.

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 to
these items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
6. The temporary spare tyre pressure should be checked once a month
while the tyre is stored.

TYRE CHAINS
Tyre chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the front wheels. Be sure
that 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 the
original size and load carrying capacity
are met by the replacement tyres. When
using snow tyres, the vehicle should
not 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 than
those fitted to the rear of the vehicle and
therefore tyre rotation will provide a
means of helping to ensure an even
wear rate across the tyre set. For ve-
hicles fitted with radial ply tyres, rota-
tion should be confined to front to rear
tyre 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 the
chain to avoid contact with the
vehicle body.
o Retighten the chains to prevent from a body damage after driving
0.5 ~ 1 km with equipping chains.
