Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
– Use the wheelbrace 3 to slacken off
the wheel bolts. Position it so as to
be able to push from above;
– place the jack 4 horizontally; the jack
head must be lined up with the sill 1
closest to the wheel concerned, as
shown by arrow 2.
– start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle);
– turn the wheelbrace until the wheel
lifts 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.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur-
face where it will not slip (if neces-
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Engage the handbrake and put the
gearstick in position P.
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.

To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehi-
cle, raise the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your authorised dealer.
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 apply-
ing to the country you are in.
