WARNINGS
Make sure that the arrows on
directional tyres point in the direction
of rotation when the vehicle is
moving forwards. If a spare wheel has to
be fitted with the arrows pointing in the
opposite direction of rotation, have the
tyre refitted in the correct direction by a
properly trained technician.
Only use the vehicle jack to change
a wheel. Never work underneath
the vehicle when it is supported only
by the jack.
Note:
Make sure that the jack is vertical
to the jacking point and the base is flat on
the ground.
1. Remove the hub cover.
2. Remove the nut caps.
3. Assemble the jack handle.
4. Slacken the wheel nuts.
5. Jack up the vehicle until the tyre is
clear of the ground.
6. Unscrew and remove the wheel nuts
and take off the wheel.
Fitting a wheel
WARNINGS
Make sure that there is no
lubrication (grease or oil) on the
threads or the interface between
wheel studs and nuts.
Have the tightening torque of the
wheel nuts and the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Note:
The wheel nuts of alloy wheels can
also be used for the steel spare wheel.
1. Align and fit the wheel onto the wheel
studs. Make sure that the flat washers
of the wheel nuts are facing the wheel.
Screw on the wheel nuts and tighten.
2. Lower the vehicle and remove the
jack.
