Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct tra󰀩c: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage rst gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
o󰀨 the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode P
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
o󰀨 the ignition.
Check that the parking brake indicator lamps
on the instrument panel are on xed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, rst remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture
using the wheelbrace.
When retting the wheel, ret the wheel
trim, starting by placing its aperture in line
with the valve and then pushing it into place
all round its edge with the palm of your hand.
Wheel trims are identied by a "LEFT" mark
on the left-hand side and a "RIGHT" mark
on the right-hand side. Do not reverse these
when removing/retting the wheel.
► To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of
the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
► Fit security socket 2 on wheelbrace 5 to
slacken the security bolt.
► Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 5 only.
Never use an impact wrench on the
security bolt socket.
► Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.
► Extend jack 6 until its head comes into
contact with jacking point A or B; contact area A
or B on the vehicle must be properly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
