Note. The following signs may indicate damage to the wheel:
- - increase in resistance to rotation of the steering wheel;
- - increased vibration of the car;
- - pulling the car to the side.
To replace a damaged wheel, turn to the edge of the roadway and, taking precautionary measures, drive slowly to the nearest level area that is at a sufficiently safe distance from the roadway. It is dangerous to park your vehicle on a roadway or on the edge of a busy road.
Stop the vehicle on level ground, at a safe distance from traffic, and apply the parking brake fully. Move the range selector lever to the position «Park (P)» (parking) (car with automatic transmission) or move the shift lever to first gear or reverse gear (car with manual transmission) and stop the engine. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
Check that none of the passengers remain in the car and that all passengers are at a safe distance from the carriageway. Remove the jack, tool and spare wheel. Place chocks under the wheel, which is located diagonally from the damaged one. Wheel chocks should be installed in front and behind the wheel.
