If the time is between 1:30Ð1:59, the time
will change to 2:00. When the instrument panel lights are turned on, the brightness of the time indi- cation will be reduced.
Once the electrical power source has
been disconnected from the clock, the

it in. When it becomes heated, it auto-
matically pops out ready for use.
If the engine is not running, the key must be in the ACCº position.

cally controls spinning of the rear
wheels which may occur when accel-
erating on
slippery road surfaces, thus
assisting driver control and driving
power to the rear wheels. When you turn the ignition switch on, the trac-
tion control system always turns on
automatically, and the slip indicator
light and SNOWº indicator light will come on. The indicator lights will go
off after about 3 seconds.

3. Remove the wheel ornament.
Pry off the wheel ornament, using the bev- eled end of the flat-bladed screwdriver as
shown.
Do not try to pull the ornament by
hand. Take due care in handling the
ornament to avoid unexpected per-
sonal injury. CAUTION
!
4. Loosen all the wheel nuts. Always l
oosen the wheel nuts before rais-
ing the vehicle.
The nuts turn counterclockwise to loosen.
To get maximum leverage, fit the wrench
to the nut so that the handle is on the right

6. After making sure that no one is in
the vehicle, raise it high enough so
that the spare tire can be installed.
Remember you will need more ground
clearance when putting on the spare tirethan when removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle
into the jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it
clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle
and begins to lift, double-check that it is
properly positioned.
Never get under the vehicle when it is supported by the jack alone. CAUTION
!
7. Remove the wheel nuts and change tires.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and
align the holes in the
wheel with the bolts.
Then lift up the wheel and get at least thetop bolt started through its hole. Wigglethe tire and press it back over the other bolts.Before putting on wheels, remove any
corrosion on the mounting surfaces with a
wire brush or such. Installation of wheels
without good metal-to-metal contact at
the mounting surface can cause wheel
nuts to loosen and eventually cause a
wheel to come off while driving. Therefore
after the first 1600 km (1000 miles), check
to see that the wheel nuts are tight.

Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle. Use only the wheel nut wrench to tighten the nuts. Do not use other tools or any
additional leverage other than your
hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your
foot. M ake sure the wrench is securely en-
gaged over the nut.
Tighten each nut a little at a time in the or-
der shown. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight.10. Reinstall the wheel ornament.
