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.
