To change a tyre
1.Loosen the wheel nuts a quarter turn
with the wheel nut wrench. Do not re-
move the wheel nuts yet.
2. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points shown in the illustration. Use the jacking point closest to the tyre you wish
to change.
A- Front jacking point
B- Rear jacking point
:ARN,NGz 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.
z 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 peb-bles under the jack base.NOTEz When jacking up the rear of the vehicle, turn
the tip of the jack so that the grooved portion
(C) properly meets the designated point.
3. Using the jack handle, turn the release
valve (D) clockwise until it stops.

4.Insert the jack handle in the bracket of
the jack and hook the notch (E) on the
jack handle end to the claw (F) of the
bracket.
5. Move the jack handle up and down to
raise the ram until just before the jack
contacts the jacking point of the vehicle.
Ensure that the jack will properly con- tact the vehicle jacking point.
Move the jack handle up and down to raise the vehicle.NOTEz This jack is a 2 stage expansion type.:ARN,NGzStop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-ous to raise the vehicle any higher.:ARN,NGz Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
z Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
z Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
z The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
z No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
z Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
z Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.
6. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel
nut wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUT,ONz Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
7. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (G), hub bolts (H) or in the installa- tion holes (I) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare wheel.
:ARN,NGz Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (J) facing outboard. If you cannot see the valve stem (J), you have installed the wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare
wheel installed backwards can cause vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident.

8.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.NOTEz Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel spare wheel as shown in the illustra- tion, but return to the original wheel and tyre
as soon as possible.CAUT,ONz Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.NOTEz If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels. e. g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.
9. Put the notch (K) provided on the jack
handle end on the valve (L) of the jack.
Using the jack handle, turn the release valve anticlockwise slowly to lower thevehicle until the tyre touches the ground.
:ARN,NGz Be sure to open the release valve slowly. If
it is opened quickly, the vehicle will drop abruptly and the jack may come out of position, causing a serious accident.
10. Tighten the nuts crisscross in 2 or 3 steps
until each nut has been tightened secure-
ly.

Release the parking brake.
CAUT,ONz Never tow an automatic transmission vehicle
with the front wheels up (and the rear wheels
on the ground) (Type B) when the automatic
transmission fluid level is low. This may
cause serious and expensive damage to the
transmission.
Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (manual transmission) or the selector
lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (auto-
matic transmission). Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position or put the operation
mode in ACC and secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tie-down strap. Never place the ignition switch
in the “LOCK” position or put the operation
mode in OFF when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emer- gency, your vehicle may be temporarily tow-ed by a rope secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-
hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful attention to the following points.
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks are located as
shown in the illustration. Secure the tow
rope to the front towing hook.
NOTEz Using any part other than the designated
towing hooks could result in damage to the
vehicle body.
z Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
z Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can damage the vehicle body.

Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-26.:ARN,NGz When the engine is not running, the brake
booster and power steering pump do notoperate. This means higher brake depres- sion force and higher steering effort are
required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
very difficult.CAUT,ONz Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N”

quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
6. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav-
el at low speed.
:ARN,NGz Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and
steering wheel movements; such driving
operation could cause damage to the tow-
ing hook or tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
z When going down a long slope, the brakes
may overheat, reducing effectiveness.
Have your vehicle transported by a tow truck.CAUT,ONz The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow- ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.
z When a vehicle with an automatic transmis-
sion is to be towed by another vehicle with
all the wheels on the ground, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below
are never exceeded, avoiding damage to the
transmission.
