Removing a road wheel
WARNINGS
Park your vehicle in such a
position that neither the traffic
nor you are hindered or endangered.
Set up a warning triangle.
Make sure that the vehicle is on
firm, level ground with the
wheels pointing straight ahead.
Switch off the ignition and apply
the parking brake.
If your vehicle has a manual
transmission, select first or
reverse gear. If it has an automatic
transmission, select park.
Have the passengers leave the
vehicle.
Secure the diagonally opposite
wheel with an appropriate block
or wheel chock.
Make sure that the arrows on
directional tyres point in the
direction of rotation when the vehicle
is moving forwards. If you have to fit
a spare wheel with the arrows
pointing in the opposite direction,
have the tyre refitted in the correct
direction by a properly trained
technician.
Do not work underneath the
vehicle when it is supported only
by a jack.
Note: Make sure that the jack is
vertical to the jacking point and the
base is flat on the ground.
