Changing a wheel
Switch on the hazard
warning lights.
Keep the vehicle away
from traffic and on a lev-
el surface where it will not slip.
Apply the parking brake and en-
gage a gear (first or reverse, or P
for automatic transmissions).
Ask the passengers to leave the
vehicle and to keep away from
traffic.
Vehicles equipped with a jack and
wheel brace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Unlock the wheel bolts using the wheel
brace 1 . Position it so as to be able to
push from above.
If the vehicle is parked
on the hard shoulder,
you must warn other
road users of your
vehicle's presence with a warning
triangle or with other devices as
per the legislation applying to the
country you are in.
Position the jack 2 horizontally. The
jack head must be lined up with the sill
closest to the wheel affected and indi-
cated by the arrow 3 .
Start cranking the jack by hand, posi-
tioning the jack support plate 4 plate in
the slightly indented groove under-
neath the vehicle, located between the
two notches 5 and in the direction of
the arrow 3 .
Continue to crank the jack so that the
baseplate is correctly positioned (it
should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with the jack head).
Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off
the ground.
To prevent any risk of in-
jury or damage to the ve-
hicle, only crank the jack
until the wheel you are
replacing is a maximum of 3 cen-
timetres off the ground.
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on the
central hub and turn it to locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
If bolts are supplied with the emer-
gency spare wheel, only use these
bolts for the emergency spare wheel.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub
and lower the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and have the tightness of
the bolts checked and the emergency
spare wheel pressure checked as
soon as possible.
