Warning
•
Park the vehicle as far away from
traffic as possible. If necessary,
switch on the hazard warning
lights and place the warning trian-
gle on the road –always follow
safety regulations.
•
All vehicle occupants should
leave the vehicle and stand away
from the danger area (for example,
behind the barrier).
•
Apply handbrake firmly and
engage a gear. If the car is on a
slope, block one of the wheels on
the opposite side with a stone or
some similar object.
•
Carry out wheel change on a flat,
level surface, so far as this is pos-
sible.
•
Take the tools and the spare wheels out
of the luggage compartment.
•
Remove the wheel covers or the caps of
the screws.
Small wheel covers for steel wheels and
light alloy wheels are removed with the
screwdriver. Integral wheel covers for
steel wheels are removed by hand.
•
Insert the wheel wrench as far as possi-
ble and turn it to the left, gripping the
wrench as far as possible to its lever end.
If the wheel bolts are very tightly secured,
carefully push the wrench down by plac-
ing a foot on the end of the lever. Ensure
that you stand properly and have a good
grip on the vehicle.
Loosen the wheel bolts approximately
one turn.
