5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Installing the tire

Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-

may loosen while the vehicle is
in motion, and the tire may
come off the vehicle.

Install the tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by hand by
approximately the same amount.

Tighten the nuts until the tapered
portion comes into loose contact
with the disc wheel seat.

Replacing an aluminum wheel with a compact spare tire
