Wheel changing
151
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, before jacking
the vehicle the air suspension system must
be ’locked’ - this will prevent the suspension
from self-levelling or the ride height from
changing while the vehicle is supported by
the wheel changing jack.
To ’lock’ the suspension:
1. First, ensure that either Standard or High
ride height are engaged - this will provide
sufficient space beneath the vehicle to
locate and operate the jack.
2. Open the tailgate.
3. Switch on the hazard warning lights.
The hazard warning lights MUST remain
flashing and the tailgate open THROUGHOUT
THE WHOLE wheel changing process.
Using the wheel chocks
WARNING
Before raising the vehicle, it is ESSENTIAL
to chock one of the road wheels; the parking
brake acts on the transmission, not on the
rear wheels, and therefore may not hold the
vehicle when raised.
Always chock the front and back of the
wheel diagonally opposite the one to be
removed.
The wheel chocks are stowed with the jack,
jack lever, wheel brace and steel spare wheel
beneath the loadspace floor.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Before jacking the vehicle always observe
the following precautions!
• Park your vehicle away from the
thoroughfare, and make your
passengers wait in a safe area
AWAY from the vehicle.
• Position the warning triangle at an
appropriate distance from the
vehicle to warn other traffic.
• Apply the parking brake and select
gear position ’P’ in Low or High
range.
• Ensure the air suspension system is
locked, and remove the starter key.
• NEVER jack the vehicle with
passengers inside, or with a caravan
or trailer connected!
• NEVER work beneath the vehicle
with the jack as the only means of
support. The jack is designed for
wheel changing only!
