4.6 Changing the tyre
Preparing to change the tyre
• If possible, only change the tyre when the base vehicle is
coupled to the caravan.
• Park the trailer carriage on as rm and even a surface as possible.
• If you have tyre trouble on a public road, turn on your hazard
warning signal lights and set up the warning triangle.
• Base vehicle: Pull the hand brake, shift to rst gear and align
the wheels so that they are straight; when driving an automatic,
set the gear to P.
• Caravan: Pull the handbrake, leave the support wheel in its
driving position, deactivate the stabilization system (note: do
not open completely).
• Remove chocks
j
from the gas bottle container (in some
cases, clipped on at the top right and left, depending on the
model).
• To secure the vehicle, place the wheel chock
j
in front of and
behind the wheel that is still intact.
• Before jacking up the vehicle, turn the wheel screws once to
loosen them, but do not unscrew them any further.
