128 Vehicle care
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up
vehicle.
■ Do not start the engine when the
vehicle is raised on the jack.
■ Before screwing in the wheel bolts,
clean them and lightly coat the
taper of each wheel bolt with
commercially available grease.
1. Pull off the wheel cover 3 121.
2. Loosen each of the wheel bolts by
half a turn using the ratchet and
adapter. The ratchet should turn
anticlockwise to loosen the bolts.
Invert the ratchet if necessary.
3. Raise vehicle by placing lifting
pad spigot of the jack under the
jacking hole located nearest the
wheel concerned.
Ensure the jack is positioned
correctly. The jack base must be
on the ground directly below the
jacking hole in a manner that
prevents it from slipping.
4. Install adapter onto the jack and
raise the vehicle by turning the
ratchet until the wheel is clear of
the ground.
5. Unscrew wheel bolts completely
by turning anticlockwise and wipe
clean with a cloth.
Put wheel bolts somewhere
where the threads will not be
soiled.
6. Change the wheel.
7. Screw in the wheel bolts.
8. Lower vehicle.
9. Tighten each wheel bolt in
a crosswise sequence. Tightening
torque is 140 Nm.
10. Refit wheel cover
11. Change the wheel.
12. Stow the replaced wheel 3 128
and the vehicle tools 3 121.

the vehicle. Check the tyre
pressure of the installed tyre
3 151 and also the wheel bolt
torque as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed or
repaired.
Spare wheel
Some vehicles are equipped with
a tyre repair kit instead of a spare
wheel 3 124.
