cover or centre cap, pull the cover
or centre cap away from the wheel
to remove it.
Store the wheel cover in the cargo
area until the flat tyre is repaired

If the vehicle has a centre cap with
wheel nut caps, the wheel nut caps
are designed to stay with the
centre cap after they are loosened.
Remove the entire centre cap if the
wheel has a smooth centre cap.
Place the chisel end of the wheel
wrench in the slot on the wheel,
and gently prize it off.
3. Turn the wheel wrench
anticlockwise to loosen all the
wheel nuts, but do not remove
them yet.
Caution
Make sure that the jack lift head is
in the correct position or you may
damage your vehicle. The repairs
would not be covered by your
warranty.
