Spare wheel
The spare wheel is secured under the rear
of the vehicle in a special hinged carrier.
Lowering spare wheel carrier
bracket
To gain acces to the spare wheel, proceed
as follows:
•
The wheel brace and screwdriver are:
– behind the driver’s seat (van version)
– at the rear of the luggage compartment,
stowed in the cover of the right side
panel (Kombi version).
With the aid of the screwdriver:
•
Remove the rubber cover (
A
) of the ori-
fice at the centre of the rear edge of the
load zone, avoiding damage to the paint-
work.
•
Using the wheel brace (
B
), loosen com-
pletely the securing bolt housed inside
the orifice; the wheel-carrier will descend
to allow the spare wheel to be removed.
On no account turn bolt too far, other-
wise the stop will be damaged and
the retaining hook and spare wheel
bracket could drop down.
