Tool set, the first-aid kit for repair of tires and a spare wheel

Set of the tool and jack

Set of the tool (And) and a jack (In) are under a luggage carrier flooring.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Lift a flooring for the plastic handle. Suspend a flooring by means of the handle (C) for luggage carrier consolidation. Deblock a box with the tool, having pulled up the box handle. Take a set of the tool or a jack. Return a flooring on a place and only then close a trunk lid.

The following tools enter into a set of the tool:

wire capture for полноразмерных* / decorative caps of wheels; plastic clip for removal of protective caps of wheel bolts *; ballonny key; safety finger for wheel replacement; screw-driver with a perestavny core; towing eye.

Before laying of a jack return an elevating paw to starting bottom position.

Some of the given positions enter into a complete set of only certain updatings or are established to order.

The first-aid kit for repair of tires

The first-aid kit for repair of tires is under a luggage carrier flooring.

Pressurizing means enters into the first-aid kit for repair of tires for sealing of damages of the tire, and also the compressor for tire inflating. They allow to pressurize reliably the damages of the tire caused by extraneous subjects in diameter approximately to 4 mm. Thus the foreign matter can remain in the tire.

Instructions for use can be found pressurizing means and the compressor respectively on a bottle with pressurizing means and on the compressor case.

Steel spare wheel

Extraction of a spare wheel

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Lift a flooring for the plastic handle. Suspend a flooring by means of the handle for luggage carrier consolidation. Unscrew the handle rotation counter-clockwise. Take a spare wheel. Return a flooring on a place and only then close a trunk lid.

Laying of a faulty wheel

Your car can be completed at manufacturer with a steel spare wheel. Owing to constructive data (the size of the disk/tyre, composition of rubber, protector drawing etc.) the spare wheel, as a rule, does not correspond on the working parameters to serial tires of the car. Therefore you should remember the following restrictions:

The steel spare wheel is authorized to be maintained only on the car of your model. It can be mounted only on your car.

In case of installation of a steel spare wheel road performance of your car changes.

The steel spare wheel is intended only for short-term installation in case of tire "puncture". As soon as possible replace a steel spare wheel with a standard wheel with the serial tire.

If the size of the tire of a steel spare wheel differs from a serial wheel, under certain circumstances it is impossible to mount antisliding chains on a spare wheel.

Serial spare wheel

The spare wheel is in a niche under a luggage carrier flooring.

Extraction of a spare wheel

Laying of a faulty wheel

Cars exported to some countries are completed not with a wheel with the standard tire, and easier compact emergency колесом*.

Spare wheel with the directed drawing of a protector

If as a spare wheel the wheel with the directed drawing of a protector is used, it is necessary to remember the following:

The direction of rotation of a wheel is defined by a label in the form of an arrow put on боковине of a tire. If in case of a puncture it is necessary to establish a spare wheel vstrechno to the direction of movement defined by drawing of a protector, this measure should be temporary only as the tire in this case cannot realize fully optimum road performance inherent in it, such as lack of tendency to hydroplaning, noiselessness and wear resistance. Especially we recommend to remember it in crude weather, sorazmery speed of movement with a carriageway condition.

Compact spare wheel (emergency wheel)

The compact spare (emergency) wheel is in a niche under a luggage carrier flooring.

Use of an emergency wheel

The emergency wheel is intended in emergency to reach only to a workshop. Therefore at the first possibility replace it with a wheel with the standard tire.

On operation of an emergency wheel some restrictions extend. The emergency wheel cannot be used on cars of other models.

On a disk of an emergency wheel putting on of standard or winter tires is not allowed.

Antisliding chains

For technical reasons putting on of chains of antisliding on a compact emergency wheel is not allowed.

Therefore in need of movement with antisliding chains in case of "puncture" of a forward wheel put an emergency wheel back. In turn put on the removed back wheel of a chain of antisliding and establish it on a place of a faulty forward wheel.

Wheel replacement

Preparation

Replacement of a wheel demands preliminary preparation.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Stop on an equal surface and whenever possible far away from a transport stream. Will land all passengers and track, that they were out of a dangerous zone (for example, from outer side of a road protection). Tighten completely hand brake. Include the first transfer (a manual transmission) or establish the lever of the selector of automatic transmission in the situation "R". At movement with the trailer: disconnect the trailer from the car. Take from a luggage carrier a set of the tool and a spare wheel.

At a carriageway slope in addition enclose an emphasis under an opposite wheel.

Observe requirements of traffic regulations.

Wheel replacement

Process of replacement of a wheel includes mentioned below stages.

Operations after wheel replacement

After replacement of a wheel it is necessary to execute a number of operations.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

The removed wheel lay in a niche for a spare wheel and fix. Lay on a place a tool set. Urgently check pressure of air in the tire of the established spare wheel. Check the moment of an inhaling of wheel bolts a dinamometrichesky key. The standard moment is specified in Specifications. As soon as possible replace a faulty wheel.

If at replacement of a wheel it will be found out that wheel bolts rusted or hardly go on a carving, it is necessary to replace them before measurement of the moment of an inhaling. Before control of the moment of an inhaling, care for the sake of, go only with moderate speed.

Full-size caps of wheels

For access to wheel bolts remove full-size caps.

Removal

Installation

Decorative caps of wheels

For access to wheel bolts remove decorative caps.

Removal

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Enter entering into a tool set wire capture into an opening of a decorative cap. Pull and remove a decorative cap.

Wheel bolts with caps

Removal

Installation

Caps serve for protection of wheel bolts.

Easing and tightening of wheel bolts

Weaken wheel bolts and only then lift the car.

Easing

Tightening

Executed in the screw-driver handle the internal shestigrannik cannot use for a stragivaniye or for an inhaling of wheel bolts. Carefully press a foot edge of the handle of a key if the bolt does not move. Occupy thus steady situation and hold the car.

Dismantle and wheel installation

After a stragivaniye of wheel bolts and a car podnimaniye with a jack replace a wheel in the following sequence:

Wheel dismantle

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Shestigrannik screw-driver handles (from a tool set) turn out most highly located bolt of a wheel and put it on a pure surface. In the released opening screw in a hand entering into a tool set a safety finger. Then turn out other bolts according to the above-stated description. Remove a wheel. The safety finger remains in an opening.

Wheel installation

Wheel bolts should be pure and it is easy to go on a carving. Check a surface of a prileganiye of a wheel and a nave. Remove pollution on these surfaces before wheel installation.

The internal shestigrannik in the handle of a screw-driver facilitates a vvorachivaniye and a reversing of wheel bolts. The core of a screw-driver should be thus taken out by Perestavna.

At installation of wheels with the directed drawing of a protector do not forget about the direction of rotation of a wheel.

Executed in the screw-driver handle an internal shestigrannik do not use for a stragivaniye or for an inhaling of wheel bolts.

Tires with the directed drawing of a protector

Tires with the directed drawing of a protector should be mounted taking into account the rotation direction.

The direction of rotation of a wheel is defined by a label in the form of an arrow put on боковине of a tire. Surely observe the specified direction of rotation. Only in this case it will be possible to realize optimum qualities of these tires, such as lack of tendency to hydroplaning, noiselessness and wear resistance.

Installation of a spare wheel vstrechno to the direction of movement defined by drawing of a protector, in case of "puncture" demands care at movement as the tire in this case cannot realize optimum qualities inherent in it fully.

For complete use of advantages of the tire with the directed drawing of a protector as soon as possible replace the damaged tire for restoration of the correct direction of rotation of all tires.
