WARNING
l Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE l The
chocks shown in the
illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if nee-
ded.
l If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack, jack handle and wheel nut wrench ready. NOTE
l Put
the spare wheel under
the vehicle body
near the flat tyre. This makes it safer if the
jack slips out of position. 7. Loosen
the wheel nuts with the wheel nut
wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts yet.
Five wheel nuts
Six wheel nuts 8. Find the closest jacking point to the flat tyre
(refer to “Jacking up
the vehicle” on page
6-13). Then position the jack and raise the ve-
hicle until the tyre is slightly off the ground.
9. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench, then take the wheel off. CAUTION
l
Handle the wheel carefully when
chang-
ing the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel
surface.
10. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub surface
(C), hub
bolts (D)
or in the installation holes
(E) in the wheel, and then mount the spare
wheel. WARNING
l Mount the spare wheel with
the valve
stem (F) facing outboard. If you cannot
see the valve stem (F), you have installed
the wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare
wheel installed backwards can cause vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident. For emergencies

11. Finger-tighten the wheel nuts.
(Turn them
clockwise.)
Vehicles with steel wheels
Tighten the wheel nuts (tapered nuts) until
the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make
light contact with the seats of the wheel
holes and the wheel is not loose.
With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts in
the same way. Vehicles with aluminium wheels Tighten the wheel nuts (flange nuts) until the
flanges of the wheel nuts
touch the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
Normal wheels and spare wheel
(aluminium wheels) With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts un-
til the tapered parts
of
the wheel nuts make
light contact with the seats of the wheel
holes and the wheel is not loose.
Spare wheel (steel wheels) CAUTION
l
Never apply oil to either
the wheel bolts
or the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE l Flange
nuts can be temporarily
used on the
spare wheel, but return to the original wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
l If all four aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, use tapered nuts.
12. Lower the vehicle slowly and then tighten the nuts crisscross in 2 or 3 steps until each
nut has been tightened securely.
Tightening torqueSteel wheel: 137 to 157 Nm
Aluminium wheel: 118 to 137 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force at the end
of the wheel nut wrench supplied with
the vehicle.
Steel wheel: 510 to 580 N
Aluminium wheel: 440 to 500 N)
Five wheel nuts For emergencies
