Changing a Wheel
If you have a flat tyre, move off the road as far
as possible, turn on the hazard warning lights
and set up a warning triangle at a suitable dis-
tance from the car .

Place the car jack on a firm, level support.
Apply the handbrake firmly, engage 1st gear or
move the gear selector to "P", and chock the
wheels on the side opposite the deflated tyre.
Do not allow anyone to sit in the car while it is
jacked up.
Procedure for Changing a Wheel
1. Slacken wheel nuts of wheel to be changed.
2. The car jack must only be positioned at one
of the jacking points marked, at the correct
angle relative to the car .
3. Raise car on jack until wheel to be changed
is clear of ground.
Warning: The jack is only provided to lift the
vehicle for changing tyres . If work is to be
carried out under the vehicle, the vehicle
must be supported on a suitable chassis
stand or similar.
4. Remove wheel nuts and change wheel. When
fitting the new wheel, make sure that the col-
oured wheel bolt is opposite the valve. Screw
the lock-up wheel nut onto this bolt.
5. Working in diagonally opposite sequence,
tighten the wheel nuts slightly. Check that the
collars of the nuts engage the recesses in
the wheel so that the wheel is properly cen-
tred.
Make sure that the contact surfaces are
clean.
