vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-7. Be sure all four tires and wheels are the same size and type. When it is necessary to replace any of thetires or wheels, replace all four. All tires should be rotated before the wear difference between the front and rear tires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-17.  Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.

Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads.When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
CAUTION Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand that have no wear differences. Using tires of different size, type, brands or degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and result in possible damage to thedriving system. Further, the drive train will be subject to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, orother serious failures.

CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow 4-wheel dr
ive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment. Even in “AUTO” drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.

Turn on the hazard warning flashers andset up a warning sign, such as a warning triangle or flashing signal lights, at an adequate distance from the vehicle, andhave all your passengers leave the vehicle. 5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the jack, place chocks orblocks (A) at the tire that is diagonally opposite from the tire (B) you are chang- ing.

How to change a tire
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, thejack could slip out of position, leading to an accident.NOTE
 The chocks shown in the illustration do not come with your vehicle. It is recommended that you purchase chocks or blocks and keep them in the vehicle for use if needed.  If chocks or blocks are not available, use stones or any other objects that are largeenough to hold the wheel in position.

2. Place the jack under
one of the jacking
points (A) shown in the illustration. Use the jacking point closest to the tire youwish to change.
3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the topof the jack.
4. Check that the flange portion at the jack- ing point fits in the groove at the top ofthe jack. Insert the bar (D) into the wheel nut wrench (E). Then put the end of the barinto the shaft’s jack end, as shown in the illustration. Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench untilthe tire is raised slightly off the groundsurface.
WA R N I N G Set the jack only at the positions shown here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,it could dent your vehicle or the jack might fall over and cause personal injury.
 Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur- face. Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause personal injury. Always use the jack on a flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack,make sure there are no sand or pebbles under the jack base.NOTE
 Put the spare tire under the vehicle body near the jack. This makes it safer if the jack slipsout of position.WA R N I N G

5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench, then take the wheel off.
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 spare tire.
7. Turn the wheel nut clockwise by hand to initially tighten them. Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by hand until the flange parts of the wheelnuts make light contact with the wheel and the wheel is not loose.
WA R N I N G Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the tire is raised off the ground. It is danger- ous to raise the vehicle any higher. Do not get under your vehicle while using the jack. Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it sitting on the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous. Do not use a jack except the one that came with your vehicle. The jack should not be used for any pur- pose other than to change a tire. No one should be in your vehicle when using the jack. Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is on the jack. Do not turn the raised wheel. The tires that are still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.CAUTION Handle the wheel carefully when changing the tire, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
WA R N I N G Mount the spare tire with the valve stem (I) facing outward. If you cannot see the valve stem (I), you have installed the wheel backwards.Operating the vehicle with the spare tire installed backwards can cause vehicle damage and result in an accident.
NOTE
 Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the compact spare tire as shown in the illustra- tion, but return to the original wheel and tire as soon as possible.
