2. Stop the vehicle on level ground with firm ground.
3. Stop the engine and turn on the hazard warning lights.
4. Securely lock the parking brake and move the automatic transmission selector (variator) into position "R". On models with manual transmission, engage first or reverse gear.
Note: if necessary, block the wheel diagonally opposite the one to be replaced.
5. Remove the spare wheel.
- A) Raise and secure the luggage compartment carpet.
- b) Loosen the lock and remove the spare wheel.
6. Replace wheel.
- A) Remove the decorative cap (if installed).
- b) Loosen the wheel nuts to be replaced by one turn.
- V) Set the jack (see section "car jacking").
Note:
- Make sure the jack is properly installed. Raising the vehicle with an incorrectly positioned jack may damage the vehicle or cause the vehicle to slip off the jack.
- Never stand under a vehicle if the vehicle is only supported by a jack.
- Only use the jack to raise the vehicle when changing a wheel.
- Do not lift the vehicle if anyone is inside.
- G) Turning the jack handle, raise the car, unscrew the wheel nuts, and remove the wheel.
Note: Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove or change a wheel.
d) Before installing the wheel, remove rust from the mounting surface with a wire brush or similar tool. Mounting a wheel without good metal-to-metal contact on the mounting surface can loosen the wheel nuts and even cause the wheel to come off while driving. Therefore, check the reliability of fastening nuts.
Note: when replacing with a standard wheel after the first 1600 km, check the tightness of the nuts.
e) Install the spare wheel and hand-tighten the mounting nuts.
and) Lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown in the figure. When tightening the nuts, do not use an extension wrench or press it with your foot.
- Tightening torque - 98-118 Nm
7. Check the air pressure in the installed tire.
Note: Be sure to replace the tire valve cap, as dirt and moisture may be forced into the valve, causing air to leak.
8. Before driving, make sure all tools, jack and punctured wheel are securely in their storage areas to reduce the chance of injury during a collision or sudden braking.
