- b) Loosen the mounting nuts of the wheel being replaced by one turn.
- c) Place the jack next to the wheel to be replaced in the appropriate place (see the section "Jacking up the car")
Note:
- Make sure the jack is positioned correctly. Raising the vehicle with an improperly positioned jack can result in damage to the vehicle or the vehicle slipping off the jack.
- Never stand under a vehicle unless the vehicle is supported only by a jack.
- Use the jack only to raise the vehicle when changing a tire.
- Do not lift the vehicle if anyone is inside.
- d) Turn the jack handle to raise the car, loosen the wheel nuts and remove the wheel.
Note: Only raise the vehicle high enough to remove or change a wheel.
- d) Before installing the wheel, remove rust from the mounting surface with a wire brush or similar tool. Installing a wheel without good metal-to-metal contact on the mounting surface can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and even cause the wheel to come off while driving. Therefore, after the first 1,600 km, check that the nuts are securely fastened.
- e) Install the spare wheel and tighten the mounting nuts by hand.
