I have a Isuzu MU 7, but I have noticed that there is a wheel under the car behind?

I have read the manual but can not figure out where the button that lowers the wheel down, so I can get used it. Expect it to be lowered down on wet road for better traction?

;-)

you will damage it if you try to use it on the road. it is actually a propeller for crossing rivers and dams.

you have to lower it manually, but it will engage the drive gear automatically. They purposely made it manual lowering otherwise idiots would press the button at the wrong time.

looking forward to seeing the photos when you try it.

It has a camera function as well? How?

I think they only engage when you're parallel parking.

Just gave you a like on your OP.

Haven't laughed like that for a long time.

Best entertainment for some time

Thank you, but what is so funny? Something I don`t understand here, or is it funny that I ask about my wheel? The wheel must be there for a reason?

It's a spare tire. That's why we're laughing at you.

i'd imagine driving such a large vehicle, especially across dams and through rivers, would tire the driver very much so why would someone want a spare tire! As the vehicle itself is already exhausted, i'd suggest what is needed is uppers not downers; just like this forum sometimes.

It's simple really......kind of like Ctrl/Alt/Delete on a QWERTY keyboard. In the case of the MU-X (different model I know) you stop, put into park "P" and keep the button pressed in, turn the ignition key off and on again quickly then reach over and pull the door lock switch on the passengers door. It may take some practice.

Spare? For what? I already have 4 and 1 wheel I can not find out how works, so I think I have enough tires. Who wan`t to fill up the back seat with spare tires?

Are you being serious here?

If only that 5th wheel was secured by a chain.

Since there is little doubt the OP is quite adept at pulling such.

;-)

You can do funny things with an extra wheel...

Steering wheel that is.

I don't think we can blame OP for being confused. The MU-7 is way ahead of its time.

The OP is not alone.............

OP, it will only work if you are driving at least 80km/h and change the gear to "R" (the R for Racing) and the 5th weel will deploy by itself

Please someone else from Norway should be on here to explain to OP.

Or possibly a Swede.

Swedes use Norwegians as the butt of their jokes.

For docking all barges have them.

Which one is Spoony ?

Have you checked it's pressure ?

OP, it's a clever distraction to confuse the thieves.

Clearly the one less visible is more expansive, so thieves will steal it leaving other 4 wheels.

Do not worry , it will magically disappear soon

Ok, time out... we had a little fun

To lower the Spare Wheel:

(1) Assemble the 3 piece Jack Bar (photo #1)

(2) Insert the assembled Jack Bar into the into the hole on your rear bumper until it engages the catch (photo #3)

(3) Attach the Jack Wrench / Jack Handle (photo #2)

(4) Turn counter-clockwise and the Spare Wheel will begin to lower

Ha ha!

Almost as funny as the OP was my experience with the "fifth wheel" on my second hand Granvia....

On discovering a flat tyre one morning I duly lower and remove the spare, check that is has pressure, all good.

Remove the punctured wheel, go to line up the spare only to notice that the spare is a five lug wheel whereas the running wheels and hubs are 6 lug!! Great! A totally useless spare.

Check you spare if you have bought second hand!

Spare as in if 1 tire gets a puncture use said spare as temp whilst other fixed lol.

Just check from time to time or you may find out you have a 4 wheeler....seems to be a highly valued theft item.....

There's a thread on it somewhere.....
