Jacking up the vehicle
E00801001436
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles
with manual transmission, turn
the ignition key to the “LOCK” position,
move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position.
On vehicles with automatic transmission,
move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) po-
sition, turn the ignition 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 and jack handle ready.
7. Place the jack under one of the jacking points shown in the illustration. Use the jack-
ing point closest to the tyre you wish to
change. 2WD vehicles with 15 inch wheels C- Front jacking point (2WD vehicles with 15
inch wheels)
2WD vehicles with 16 inch wheels and 4WD ve-
hicles D- Front jacking point (2WD vehicles 16 inch
wheels and 4WD vehicles) For emergencies

2. Using the jack handle, turn the release valve
anticlockwise slowly to lower the ram and re-
move the jack. 3. Press the piston down all the way, and turn
the release valve clockwise as far as possible.
4. Store jack, jack handle and chocks. WARNING
l 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. CAUTION
l
If the release valve
is
loosened too much
(2 or more turns) in the anticlockwise di-
rection, the jack’s oil will leak and the
jack cannot be used. CAUTION
l
Close the release valve slowly
when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.
NOTE l Occasionally
when the vehicle is

jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated point
will not come off. When this happens, rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.
l If the jack is difficult to remove by hand, in-
sert the jack handle (L) into the bracket (M).
Then using the handle, remove the jack. WARNING
l Stop jacking up the
vehicle
as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack. WARNING
l Do not bump the raised
vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack. For emergencies

5. Remove the hanger disc (G) from the spare
wheel. To install
1. Install the hanger disc (A) in the wheel disc
hole. 2. Turn the wheel nut wrench (B) clockwise to
wind up the chain. NOTE
l Confirm
that the hanger disc

is securely fit-
ted in the wheel disc hole when the wheel is
just lifted off the ground.
3. After winding up the spare wheel sufficient- ly, make sure it is not loose (the tightening
torque should be approximately 40 Nm) then
withdraw the jack handle, taking care not to
turn it in the reverse direction. CAUTION
l
The spare wheel should
always
be secure-
ly in position.
If a flat tyre is changed, put the flat tyre
in the spare wheel mounting position
with the wheel outer surface upward, and
use the wheel nut wrench to secure it firm-
ly. How to change a tyre
E00801202653
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 manual transmission, turnthe ignition key to the “LOCK” position,
move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position.
On vehicles with automatic transmission,
move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) po-
sition, turn the ignition 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.

11. Finger-tighten the wheel nuts.
(Turn them
clockwise.)

Vehicles with steel wheels
Tighten the wheel nuts (tapered nuts) until
the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make
light contact with the seats of the wheel
holes and the wheel is not loose.
With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts in
the same way. Vehicles with aluminium wheels Tighten the wheel nuts (flange nuts) until the
flanges of the wheel nuts

touch the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
Normal wheels and spare wheel
(aluminium wheels) With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts un-
til the tapered parts
of

the wheel nuts make
light contact with the seats of the wheel
holes and the wheel is not loose.
Spare wheel (steel wheels) CAUTION
l
Never apply oil to either
the wheel bolts
or the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE l Flange
nuts can be temporarily

used on the
spare wheel, but return to the original wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
l If all four aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, use tapered nuts.
12. Lower the vehicle slowly and then tighten the nuts crisscross in 2 or 3 steps until each
nut has been tightened securely.
Tightening torqueSteel wheel: 137 to 157 Nm
Aluminium wheel: 118 to 137 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force at the end
of the wheel nut wrench supplied with
the vehicle.
Steel wheel: 510 to 580 N
Aluminium wheel: 440 to 500 N)
Five wheel nuts For emergencies

When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by incor-
rect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out
of balance wheel, or severe braking. We recom-
mend you to have it checked to determine the
cause of irregular tread wear.
Spare tyre used*
Spare tyre not used Front
Front
Front
Tyres that have arrows showing rotation direction *- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the stand-
ard tyre wheel, do
not

perform tyre rotation us-
ing a spare wheel. CAUTION
l
If the tyres have arrows
(A) indicating
the correct direction of rotation, swap the
front and rear wheels on the left hand
side of the vehicle and the front and rear
wheels on the right hand side of the vehi-
cle separately. Keep each tyre on its origi-
nal side of the vehicle. When fitting the
tyres, make sure the arrows point in the
direction in which the wheels will turn
when the vehicle moves forward. Any
tyre whose arrow points in the wrong di-
rection will not perform to its full poten-
tial.
Front CAUTION
l
Avoid the combined use
of
different types
of tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety. Snow tyres
E01002000725
The use of snow tyres

is recommended for driving
on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability,
mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pat-
tern on all 4 wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no longer suit-
able for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must
not be used. CAUTION
l
Observe permissable maximum speed
for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
NOTE l The
laws

and regulations concerning

snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu-
lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are
used.
Tyre chains E01002101534
It is recommended that snow chains are carried in
snow regions and fitted when

required to the rear
wheels.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power is dis-
tributed preferentially to the rear wheels, ensure
that the tyre chains are fitted on the rear.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use
with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the in-
correct size or type of chain could result in damage
to the vehicle body. Maintenance
