Driving Tips General Maintenance
WARNING
Slacken the wheel bolts only a little (about one turn) as long as the
vehicle has not yet been jacked up - risk of an accident!.
Note
Apply pressure carefully with your foot to the end of the wheel wrench if
it proves difficult to slacken the wheel bolts. Hold tight on the vehicle when
doing this and ensure that you have a steady position.
Car jack
You have to raise the vehicle with a lifting jack in order to
be able to take off the wheel.
