Vauxhall Mokka 2021 - Spare Wheel; Removing a Wheel

Spare Wheel
The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending on
the size compared to the other mounted
wheels and country regulations. In this
case, a permissible maximum speed
applies, even though no label at the
spare wheel indicates this.
If there is a label on the spare wheel, the
permissible speed still depends on the
country regulations.
Only mount one temporary spare wheel.
Take curves slowly. Do not use for a long
period of time.
CAUTION
The use of a spare wheel that is
smaller than the other wheels or in
combination with winter tyres could
affect driveability. Have the defective
tyre replaced as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is located in the load
compartment beneath the floor covering.
To remove:
1. Open the floor cover ð
page 168
2. The temporary spare wheel is
secured with a wing nut. Unscrew nut
and take out the spare wheel.
3. When, after a wheel change, no
wheel is placed in the spare wheel
well, tighten the wing nut and close
floor cover.
4. After wheel change back to full size
wheel, place the temporary spare
wheel in the well and secure with the
wing nut.
Only mount one temporary spare wheel.
The permissible maximum speed on the
label on the temporary spare wheel is
only valid for the factory-fitted tyre size.
Removing A Wheel
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm and
non-skid surface. The front wheels
must be in the straight-ahead position.
● Apply the parking brake and engage
first gear, reverse gear or P.
● Place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
● Remove the spare wheel.
● Never change more than one wheel at
once.
● Use the jack only to change wheels
in case of puncture, not for seasonal
winter or summer tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.
● If the ground on which the vehicle is
standing is soft, a solid board (approx.
1 cm thick) should be placed under the
jack.
● Take heavy objects out of the vehicle
before jacking up.
