Changing a wheel
Tools required
- A jack: for lifting the vehicle.
- A wheelbrace: for removing and refitting
the wheel bolts.
- A handle: for operating the jack.
These tools are not supplied with your vehicle.
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and put the drive selector in
position P to lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
You must ensure that the occupants get
out of the vehicle and wait where they
are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first
remove the wheel trim using the
wheelbrace, by pulling at the valve hole.
When fitting the wheel, refit the
wheel trim starting by aligning the valve
hole with the valve, and then press on
the edge of the trim with the palm of
your hand.
