E00801201601
Before changing a
tyre, first stop your vehicle in a
safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with M/T, turn the ignitionswitch to the “LOCK” position, move the
gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with A/T, move the selector lev-
er to the “P” (PARK) position, turn the igni-
tion key to the “LOCK” position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks
(A) at the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing. WARNING
l 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.
NOTE l 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 nee-
ded.
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 spare wheel, jack, jack handle and wheel nut wrench ready. Refer to “Tool, jack
and jack handle” on page 6-07.
Spare wheel information E00803600266
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre frequently
and make sure

it is ready for emergency use at any
time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest speci-
fied air pressure will ensure that it can always be
used under any conditions (city/high-speed driving,
varying load weight, etc.). For emergencies

Towing with rear wheels off the ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift
lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion (M/T) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position (A/T). Turn the ignition key to the
“ACC” position 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 when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emergency,
your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a rope
secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle or
if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful at-
tention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks (A) and rear towinghooks (B) are located as shown in the illustra-
tions. Secure the tow rope to the towing hook.
Front
Rear NOTE
l 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.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as horizon-
tal as possible. An angled tow rope can dam-
age the vehicle body.
l Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Keep the engine running. If the engine is not running, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” or “ON” position to un-
lock the steering wheel. CAUTION
l
When the engine
is not running, the
brake booster and power steering pump
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (with

M/T) or the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (with A/T).
4. Shift the transfer shift lever to “2H” position.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law. (Follow the local driving laws and
regulations.)
6. During towing make sure that close contact is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed. CAUTION
l
Avoid sudden braking,
sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck. For emergencies

OBKE12E1

1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position.
2. Repeatedly
depress the brake pedal until sig-
nificant resistance is felt (normally after
about 40 times).
3. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The brake fluid level must be between the
“MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake
pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short
length of time, it indicates leaks from the brake sys-
tem.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehi-
cle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4
from a sealed container. The brake fluid is hygro-
scopic. Too much moisture in the brake fluid will
adversely affect the brake system, reducing the
brake performance. CAUTION
l
Take care
in
handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and also damage painted surfaces.
l Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of
brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid
touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals. CAUTION
l
Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake

fluid from deteriorating ex-
cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance. Clutch fluid*
E01001000193
To check the fluid level
The clutch fluid

in the master cylinder should be
checked when performing other underhood service.
In addition, the system should be checked for leak-
age at the same time.
Check to ensure that the clutch fluid level is always
between the “MAX” and “MIN” level markings on
the fluid reservoir.
