Turn the guide pin clockwise to tighten it 

until it stops.

6

Remove all the wheel bolts and the 
tire.

When resting the tire on the ground, place 

the tire so that the wheel design faces up to 

avoid scratching the wheel surface.

1

Remove any dirt or foreign matter 
from the wheel contact surfaces 
and wheel bolts.

If foreign matter is on the wheel contact 

surface, the wheel bolts may loosen while 

the vehicle is in motion, causing the tire to 

come off.

2

Align a wheel bolt hole on the spare 
tire with the guide pin, and set the 
spare tire on the guide pin.

Securely set the spare tire so that its wheel 

is touching the contact surface.

3

Loosely tighten each wheel bolt by 
hand or using a wheel bolt socket 

.

Push the spare tire to prevent it from falling.
Do not use the wheel bolt socket for any-

thing other than loosely tightening the 

wheel bolts by hand.

WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

Do not touch the disc wheels or the area 

around the brakes immediately after the 

vehicle has been driven. After the vehicle 

has been driven the disc wheels and the 

area around the brakes will be extremely 

hot. Touching these areas with hands, 

feet or other body parts while changing a 

tire, etc. may result in burns.
