Popular Post dagling Posted October 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) 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? ;-) Edited October 12, 2014 by dagling 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post taichiplanet Posted October 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2014 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagling Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 looking forward to seeing the photos when you try it. It has a camera function as well? How? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songhua Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think they only engage when you're parallel parking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I don`t understand here, or is it funny that I ask about my wheel? The wheel must be there for a reason? ;-) Edited October 12, 2014 by dagling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It's a spare tire. That's why we're laughing at you. Sent from my LG-D858 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taichiplanet Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It's a spare tire. That's why we're laughing at you. Sent from my LG-D858 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

ClutchClark Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 If only that 5th wheel was secured by a chain. Since there is little doubt the OP is quite adept at pulling such. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konying Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailoht Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Ok, time out... we had a little fun Mark my ;-) sign in the end of my post 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overandout Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit_Doggie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Spare as in if 1 tire gets a puncture use said spare as temp whilst other fixed lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 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..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
