Installing a wheel
•
WARNING
Wheel changes must always be carried out
correctly. The following instructions show
how to install a wheel and what is important
to keep in mind.
Apply the parking brake and put the
gear selector in the Park (P) position.
•
•
Block the wheels standing on the
ground, use rigid wooden blocks or
large stones.
The vehicle must be raised high enough so
that the wheel you are removing can turn
freely.
When not in use, the jack* should be
kept in its storage compartment under
the cargo compartment floor.
•
•
Check that the jack is not damaged,
the threads are properly lubricated and
it is free from dirt.
•
•
1. Clean the contact surfaces between the
wheel and the wheel hub.
The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary
situations such as changing wheels in
the event of a flat tire. Only the jack
that came with your particular model
should be used to lift the vehicle. If the
vehicle needs to be lifted more fre-
quently or for a prolonged period, using
a garage jack or hoist is recommended.
Always follow this device's instructions
for use.
2. Lift the wheel into place. Tighten the
wheel bolts securely.
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface and that it is upright
and not leaning.
Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.
The jack must correctly engage in the
jack attachment.
•
•
3. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel can-
not rotate.
No objects should be placed between
the base of the jack and the ground, or
between the jack and the attachment
bar on the vehicle.
Never let anyone remain in the vehicle
when it is raised on a jack.
•
•
If a tire must be changed near passing
traffic, make sure all passengers move
to a safe location.
Use a jack intended for the vehicle
when changing a tire. For any other
job, use stands to support the vehicle.

The spare wheel is a Temporary Spare and
can be used to temporarily replace a punc-
tured tire on one of the vehicle's regular
wheels.
The spare tire is only intended for temporary
use. Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as
possible.
After inflating a tire, always replace the
valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.

tightened. Tighten to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.).
Use a torque wrench to check torque.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
The driving characteristics of the vehicle
change and ground clearance reduces when
the spare wheel is used. Do not wash the vehi-
cle in an automatic car wash while using the
Temporary Spare.

WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a
temporary replacement for a punctured
tire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-
ble by a standard tire. Road holding and
handling may be affected with the "Tempo-
rary Spare" in use. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNING
The wheel bolts may need to be tightened
again several days after a wheel change.
Temperature fluctuations and vibrations
can cause them to loosen slightly.
