6 How to change a tire
N00836900763
Before changing a tire, first stop your vehicle in a safe, flat
location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transaxle, turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position, and move the gearshift
lever to the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, move the gearshift
lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position.
4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set up a warning triangle,
flashing signal light, etc., at an adequate distance from the
vehicle, and have all your passengers leave the vehicle.5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the
jack, place chocks or blocks (A) at the tire that is diago-
nally opposite from the tire (B) you are changing.
WA R N I N G
!The jack should not be used for any purpose other
than to change a tire. Never get under the vehicle or put any portion of
your body under the vehicle while it is supported by
the jack.
WA R N I N G
!Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the correct tire
when jacking up the vehicle. If the vehicle moves
while jacked up, the jack could slip out of position,
leading to an accident.

To closeUnlatch the prop from the engine hood and put it back in its
retainer.
Slowly lower the engine hood about 8 inches (20 cm), then let
it drop from its own weight.
NOTEIf this does not close the engine hood properly, drop it
again from a slightly higher position.
Do not push down strongly on the engine hood. Depend-
ing on how strongly or where you push down, you could
create a dent in the vehicle body.
If you drive with the engine hood left open, warning dis-
play is displayed on the information screen in the multi-
information display.
CAUTION
!Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers when
closing the engine hood. Make sure the engine hood is firmly closed before
driving.
If you drive without the engine hood completely
closed, it could open up while driving.
