- Changing tires
Never attempt to change tires
in the traffic lanes of a road or
highway.
Always drive the vehicle com- pletely off the road or onto the
shoulder before changing a
tire. The jack should be used
on a level and firm ground.
When you cannot find this
level and firm place off the
road, call a towing service
company for assistance.
Always check the jack direc- tion - in the correct front and
rear positions. Never use the
bumper or any other parts of
the vehicle for additional jack-
ing-up support.
The vehicle may roll off the jack, causing a serious injury
or death. Never place any part
of a person's body under-
neath a vehicle, while jacking
up the vehicle; use vehicle
support stands.
Do not start or run the engine, while jacking up the vehicle.
Do not allow anyone to remain inside, while jacking up the
vehicle.
Keep all children in a safe place away from the road and
from the vehicle to be jacked
up.
WARNING

Removing and storing the
spare tire
Unscrew the hold-down wing bolt in
a counterclockwise direction to
remove the tire.
Screw it in the clockwise direction to
store the spare tire.
To prevent the spare tire and tools
from “rattling” inside while driving,
properly store them.
When it is too tight to loosen the
hold-down wing bolt by hand, you
can easily loosen it, using the Jack
handle.
1.Put the Jack handle (1) in the hold-down wing bolt.
2.Unscrew the hold-down wing bolt in a counterclockwise direction
with the Jack handle, utilizing the
principles of the lever and fulcrum. When you remove or store the
spare tire, do not touch or hit the
battery with the spare tire.
Touching or hitting of the battery
may cause failure of electrical cir-
cuits.
Changing tires
1.Park the vehicle on a level surface,
and firmly set the parking brake.
2.Set the shift lever in P(Park).
3.Press ON the hazard warning flasher.

5.Block both the front and rear partsof the wheel by putting a prop in
the diagonal position.
6.Loosen the wheel lug nuts in a counterclockwise direction, in the
numerical order, as shown in the
illustration. Do not remove any nut
until the tire has been raised off the
ground. 7.Place the jack in the front or rear
jacking positions, closest to a tire,
which is to be replaced. Place the
jack under the intended place.
Those intended places should be
the plates welded to the frame with
two tabs. a raised dot to index with
the jack.
Carefully place the jack, not to
damage the plastic guard. When
you place the jack under the plas-
tic guard and jack up the vehicle,
the plastic guard may be dam-
aged.

What to do in an emergency - Changing a tire
To prevent vehicle movement while changing a tire, always
fully set the parking brake,
and block the wheel by put-
ting a prop in the diagonal
direction.
We recommend that the wheels be blocked, and that
no person remain, while jack-
ing up a vehicle.
WARNING
- Jack location
To reduce a possible injury, only
use the jack provided in the
vehicle and in the correct jack
position. Never use any other
parts of the vehicle for addition-
al jacking-up support.

8.Insert the jack handle into the jack,turn it in a clockwise direction, and
raise the vehicle until the tire just
lifts above the ground. This would
be approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).
Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure that the vehicle is
stationary without a possibility of
any movement or skid.
9.Loosen the wheel nuts and then remove them with your fingers.
Slide the wheel off the studs and
lay it on a flat ground to prevent
rolling away. To install the wheel on
the hub, pick up the spare tire, fit
the studs into the holes, and screw
them. When it is difficult, slightly tip
the wheel, fitting the top wheel hole
with its top stud. Then, shake the
wheel back and forth until the
wheel slide off other studs. 10. To reinstall a wheel, fit its hole
onto the studs, screw the wheel
nuts, and tighten them. The nuts
should be screwed with a small-
diameter end in an inward direc-
tion. Lightly jiggle the tire to
check its secure installment. If
necessary, tighten the nuts with
your fingers again.
11. Lower the vehicle onto the ground by rotating the wheel nut
wrench in a counterclockwise
direction.

What to do in an emergency06
Wheels may have sharp edges.
Carefully handle them to avoid a
possible severe injury. Before
installing wheels into place,
dust off any substances from
the hub or wheel (i.e. mud, tar,
gravel, etc., which may stick
solid against the hub).
When a wheel is unsecurely or
loosely installed on the hub, the
wheel nuts may become loose,
causing loss of a wheel. Loss of
a wheel may result in loss of
vehicle control, causing a seri-
ous injury or death.
WARNING
OVI065101N

Put the wrench as shown in the
above illustration, and tighten the
wheel nuts. Make sure the sockets
are completely tightened over the
nuts. Do not step on the wrench han-
dle, neither use an extension pipe
over the wrench handle. Go around
the wheel nuts to securely tight.
Then, double-check the tightness of
each nut. After changing wheels by
yourself, immediately have an
authorized EQUUS dealer tighten
the wheel nuts with a proper torque.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:
65~79 lb·ft (9~11 kg·m)
When you have a tire gauge, remove
the valve cap and check the air pres-
sure. When it is under-inflated than
recommended, slowly drive to the
nearest service station and inflate
the tire to the correct pressure. When
it is over-inflated, deflate the tire to
the proper pressure. Always close
the valve cap after checking or
adjusting a tire pressure. When the
cap is not closed, air may leak out
from the tire. When you lose a valve
cap, immediately buy a new one and
close the valve.After changing a wheel, always put
the flat tire in place and place the
jack and other tools in the proper
storage locations.

What to do in an emergency
OVI065011N
When your vehicle uses metric
threads for the wheel studs and
nuts, the same nuts should be
used after removal - or, if
replaced, the nuts of the same
metric threads and the chamfer
configuration are used.
Tightening a non-metric thread
nut on a metric stud or vice
versa may lead to a loose wheel
securement to the hub, damag-
ing the stud and requiring
another stud/nut replacement.
Note that most lug nuts do not
have metric threads. Pay
extreme attention to the thread
type when installing the lug
nuts or wheels, which are not
yet authorized. When in doubt,
consult an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
CAUTION
- Wheel studs
When a stud is damaged, it may
lose its ability to retain a wheel.
This may lead to loss of the
wheel and a collision, resulting
in a serious injury.
WARNING

To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire
from rattling inside a vehicle while
driving, store them in a proper place.
Important - use of compactspare tire
Your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than an orig-
inal one. This tire is smaller than an
original one, and is designed for tem-
porary use only.
You should carefully drive when
a compact spare tire is in use.
The compact spare tire should
immediately be replaced with a
proper regular tire.
Driving on more than one com- pact spare tire is not recom-
mended. A compact spare tire should be inflat-
ed to 60 psi (420 kPa).Information
Check the inflation pressure after
installing a spare tire. Adjust its pres-
sure to the recommended level, if nec-
essary.
When using a compact spare tire,
take the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should a
driving speed exceed 50 mph (80
km/h). A higher speed may dam-
age the tire.
You should drive slowly enough to avoid all hazards in accordance of
road conditions. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, may
seriously damage a compact
spare.
Any continuous driving on a spare tire may result in tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, and a possible per-
sonal injury.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi- mum weight capacity or the load
capacity, which is detailed on a
side of a compact spare tire.

What to do in an emergency06
- Inadequate spare tire pressure
Immediately check the inflation
pressures of a spare tire after
installment. If necessary, adjust
it to the recommended pres-
sure. Refer to “Tires and
wheels” in the chapter 8.
WARNING
A compact spare tire is for
emergency use only. Do not
drive your vehicle on this com-
pact spare at a speed over 50
mph (80 km/h). Replacement
with a proper regular tire should
immediately be done to avoid
failure of the spare tire, possibly
leading to a personal injury or
death.
WARNING

Avoid driving over obstacles. Acompact spare tire diameter is
smaller than one of an original tire,
and the ground clearance is short-
er by approximately 1 inch (25
mm). This may damage you vehi-
cle.
Do drive through an automatic car wash while the compact spare tire
is installed.
Do not use tire chains on a com- pact spare tire. Because of the size
difference, a tire chain will not tight-
ly fit. This may result in loss of the
chain and damage the vehicle.
Do not use your compact spare tire on any other vehicles. This com-
pact spare tire is designed exclu-
sively for your vehicle.
The tread life of a compact spare tire is shorter than other regular
tires. Inspect your compact spare
tire on a regular basis, and, if worn
out, replace it with the one of the
same size and the same design.
A compact spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor
should a compact spare wheel be
used for standard tires, snow tires,
snow tire wheel covers or snow tire
trim rings. This attempt may dam-
age the above items or other com-
ponents.
Do not use more than one compact spare tire at the same time.
Do not tow a trailer while the com- pact spare tire is installed. When a tire or a wheel is repaired
or reinstalled, the wheel nut
torque must be correctly set to
prevent any wheel vibrations. The
correct wheel nut torque is 65 ~ 79
lb-ft (9 ~ 11 kg.m).NOTICE
