Removing a Road Wheel
WARNING: Park your vehicle in
such a position that neither the traffic
nor you are hindered or endangered. WARNING:
Make sure that the
wheels are pointing straight ahead. WARNING:
If your vehicle has a
manual transmission, shift into first or
reverse gear. If your vehicle has an
automatic transmission, shift into park
(P). WARNING: Secure the diagonally
opposite wheel with an appropriate
block or wheel chock. WARNING:
Make sure that the
vehicle jack is vertical to the jacking point
and the base is flat on the ground. WARNING:
Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and your
vehicle.
Note: Do not lay alloy road wheels face
down on the ground. 1. Assemble the jack handle.
Note:
Assemble the three handles to jack
the rear of the vehicle.
2. Ensure screwthread on the jack is adequately lubricated before use.

Installing a Road Wheel WARNING: Use only approved
wheel and tire sizes. Using other sizes
could damage your vehicle. WARNING: Do not fit run flat tires
on vehicles that were not originally fitted
with them. See an authorized dealer for
more details about compatibility. WARNING:
Make sure there is no
grease or oil on the threads or the
surface between the wheel lugs and
nuts. This can cause the lug nuts to
loosen while driving. WARNING:
Have the lug nuts
checked for tightness and the tire
pressure checked as soon as possible. WARNING:
Do not install alloy
wheels using lug nuts designed for use
with steel wheels. Note:
The wheel nuts of alloy wheels and
spoked steel wheels will also be used for
the steel spare wheel for a maximum of two
weeks.
Note: Make sure the wheel and hub contact
surfaces are free from foreign matter.
Note: Make sure that the cones on the
wheel nuts are against the wheel.
1. Install the wheel.
2. Install the wheel nuts finger tight.
3. Install the locking wheel nut key. 4. Partially tighten the wheel nuts in the
sequence shown.
5. Lower the vehicle and remove the jack.
6. Fully tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown.
See Technical
Specifications (page 314).
7. Make sure that the projection of the cap is positioned on the same position
as the projection of the hub.
Note: If the spare wheel is different in size
or construction to the road wheels, replace
it as soon as possible.
Stowing the Flat Tire
Note: Do not use impact tools or power
tools on the spare tire carrier, as this could
cause a winch malfunction and prevent a
secure fit.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications WARNING: When you install a wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign
materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel
hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure to secure any fasteners
that attach the rotor to the hub so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of
the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while
your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of vehicle control, personal injury or death. lb.ft (Nm)

Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any
wheel disturbance, such as tire rotation, changing a flat tire or wheel removal.

AUDIO INPUT JACK (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:
Driving while
distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, crash and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device that may
take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving. WARNING:
Always place your
device in a secure location in your vehicle
so it does not become a projectile in a
sudden stop or crash. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury. The auxiliary input jack allows you to
connect and play music from your portable
music player through your vehicle speakers.
You can use any portable music player
designed for use with headphones. Your
audio extension cable must have male
connectors at each end. 1. Make sure your vehicle is stationary
with the audio unit and the portable
music player switched off.
2. Plug the extension cable from the device into the audio input jack.
3. Switch on the radio and select either a
tuned FM station or a CD.
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Switch on your device and adjust the volume to half the maximum level.
6. Press
AUX until LINE or LINE IN
appears in the display. You should hear
music from your device even if it is low.
7. Adjust the volume on your device until
it reaches the volume level of the FM
station or CD. Do this by switching back
and forth between the AUX and FM or
CD controls.
Use the vehicle audio unit buttons to
restore playback from the vehicle audio
unit, while your device remains connected.
Note: The audio extension cable must be
long enough for you to safely store the
device when your vehicle is moving.
Note: For optimum performance when
using any auxiliary device set the volume on
the device high. This reduces audio
interference when charging the device using
the vehicle power supply.
Note: For safety reasons, do not connect
or adjust the settings on your device while
your vehicle is moving.
