PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Removing a wheel
) Park the vehicle on level, stable
and non-slippery ground. Apply
the parking brake (a message
and a warning lamp appear on
the instrument panel).
Switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear or reverse gear
depending on the slope (posi-
tion P if an automatic gearbox,
D or R if a 6-speed electronic
gearbox).
) Use a chock to secure the vehi-
cle more safely. Place the chock
9 in front of the wheel that is op-
posite the wheel affected.
) Detach the trim using the remov-
ing tool 4 , pulling in the area of
the valve.
For vehicles with alloy wheels,
insert the trim removing tool 1
into the recess in the central trim
and lever it off.
For vehicles with alloy wheels
that have visible bolts, remove
the chrome covers using the re-
moving tool 2 .
) Slacken the wheel bolts. For ve-
hicles with alloy wheels, undo
the security bolts using the secu-
rity socket 6 .
) Position the jack under the vehi-
cle, at the jacking point A closest
to the wheel to be changed.
) Unwind the jack 5 until its brack-
et is in contact with the ground.
Make sure that the jack is verti-
cal under the jacking point used.
) Continue to extend the jack so
as to raise the vehicle.
) Undo the wheel bolts and re-
move the wheel.
Before any operation of this
sort, it is advisable to deactivate
your pneumatic suspension.
