unscrew the nuts, turn the nub span鄄
ner counterclockwise. For correct
operation, set the spanner on the
right side of the wheel, hold the end
of the spanner and lift the spanner
with force. But do not remove the
nuts at this time, just keep the nuts
half loosened.
4. Set the jack
Place the jack base on a solid and
level ground. The jack can be set at
the locations shown in the figure.
5. Lift the vehicle

tion of the jack when jacking the ve鄄
hicle to avoid it sliding down. If the
jack is placed on a soft ground or
beach, a suitable plate is needed

of the jack, to avoid loss of balance.
Raise the vehicle sufficiently high to
allow mounting the spare tire.

How to deal with an emergency
86
Loosen the wheel nuts and removed
them with hands. Move the wheel
gently so that it slides out of the
studs and then place it flat to avoid
rolling. Take out the spare tire, lift
and align it with the studs to slide it
to position. If it is too difficult to per鄄
form this operation, slide in the wheel
gently to align the upper hole on the
wheel with the upper stud. Then,
swing the wheel back and forth gen鄄
tly until the wheel can slide in on oth鄄
er studs.
7. Fitting the wheel nuts again
To fit the wheel cover again, place
the nuts on studs and tighten them.
Swing the wheel gently to confirm if it
has been safely fixed, and tighten
the nuts with hands again.
8. Lower the vehicle and fasten the
nuts.
Lower the vehicle by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise. Tighten the
wheel nuts by moving the spanner in
the direction shown. Never stand
above the spanner or use a pipe on
Warning院
音 Take care to avoid injury as
there is sharp points on the tire
cover. Before placing the tire in,
confirm the hub or tire is free
from foreign objects (such as
soil, tar and sand). Such sub鄄
stances may hinder the fixing of
tire into the hub and may be the
cause of tire nut loosening, and
may lead to loss of control, re鄄
sulting in serious injury or even
death.
