Changing a tire
●
Engage the parking brake.
●
Put the gear selector in (P)ark.
●
Get all the passengers to move to a safe place outside the car.
●
Close all doors.
●
Block the wheels remaining on the ground with wooden blocks, stones or something similar.
●
With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel lugs 1/2 - 1 turn. Position the
lug wrench so that you apply force in a downward direction. Never lift up on the lug wrench to loosen or
tighten lugs.
●
Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen. If necessary, press down on the lug wrench with your foot
to loosen the lugs.
CAUTION:
●
The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one
that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
