Changing a wheel
WARNING: Do not place any part of
your body under the vehicle when it is
only supported on the jack supplied. It
is dangerous to work under a vehicle
supported by a vehicle jack. For repair work
under the vehicle, use purpose designed
vehicle supports - never use loose blocks of
wood or bricks etc.
Always use the wheel chocks provided, even
on an apparently level surface.
The vehicle jack is designed for use on hard
level ground. Where the gradient exceeds 8%
or the camber 5.5%, or there is any doubt
about the gradient or quality of the ground,
the vehicle must be moved to a satisfactory
position before any attempt is made to use
the jack.
The jack provided is designed specifically for
your vehicle. Never use a jack from another
vehicle of different specification as it is
unlikely to be suitable.
Neglecting the jack may lead to difficulty in a
road side emergency. Examine the jack and
its ratchet handle every few months and
clean and lightly oil them as necessary.
When changing a wheel at the roadside follow
the procedure detailed below:
1. Stop the engine, apply the handbrake and
switch on the hazard warning lights.
2. Engage 1st or reverse gears (manual
transmission) or 'P' - park (automatic
transmission
3. All occupants must leave the vehicle and
all doors should be closed.
4. Open out and lock the wheel chocks (D).
Place them each side of the front wheel (E) on
the opposite side to the wheel to be changed.
5. Unscrew the retainer (C) securing the spare
wheel in the boot. Take out the spare wheel and
position it conveniently close to the wheel to be
changed.
