WARNINGlStop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start the Plug-in Hybrid EV sys-
tem while your vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.
5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel
nut wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUTIONl Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (F), hub bolts (G) or in the installa- tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then
mount the tyre.
WARNINGl Mount the wheel with the valve stem (I)
facing outboard. If you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you have installed the wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the wheel in-
stalled backwards can cause vehicle dam- age and result in an accident.
7. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand
to initially tighten them.
[Type 1: On vehicles with steel wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by hand until the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make light contact with the seats of the wheel holes and the wheel is not
loose.
[Type 2: On vehicles with aluminium wheels]
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flange parts of the wheel nuts make light contact with the wheel and the wheel is not loose.Type 1Type 2
CAUTIONl Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
