How to change a tyreE00801204051
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehi- cle in a safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission,
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF, and move the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with automatic transmis- sion, move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and turn the ignitionswitch to the “LOCK” position or put
the operation mode in OFF.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling
when jacking up the vehicle, placechocks or blocks (A) at the tyre that is
diagonally opposite from the tyre (B)
you are changing.WARNINGl 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.NOTEl 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 needed.
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 jack, jack handle and wheel nut
wrench ready.
Refer to “Tools, jack and jack handle” on page 8-11.
Spare wheel information
E00803601801
The spare wheel is stored under the floor of
the cargo bed.
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-
quently and make sure it is ready for emer- gency use at any time.

Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest
specified air pressure will ensure that it can always be used under any conditions (city/ high-speed driving, varying load weight,
etc.).
CAUTIONl The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-12.)To remove the spare wheel

tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.WARNINGl 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 or run the engine 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.
