Wheel Changing - Vauxhall VIVARO Owner's Manual

To release the spare wheel carrier, loosen
bolt 1, ensuring it is not fully removed. Fully
remove bolt 2, then pull the carrier to the
left, until it clears bolt 1, and lower the
carrier assembly.
When installing the wheel ensure that the
spare wheel carrier is correctly positioned
before tightening the bolts.
General information
If you use winter tyres 3, the spare wheel
may still be fitted with a summer tyre. If you
use the spare wheel when it is fitted with a
summer tyre the vehicle's driveability may
be affected, especially on slippery road
surfaces. Obtain a replacement for the
faulty tyre as soon as possible, and have
the wheel balanced and fitted to the
vehicle.

Wheel changing

In order to reduce the chance of possible
injuries, make the following preparations
and note the procedure:
z Park on a level, firm and non-slippery
surface.
z Switch on hazard warning flashers and
apply hand brake. Engage 1st gear or
reverse for manual transmission and
Tecshift 3.
z Correctly set up warning triangle.
z No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked up.
z Before lifting the vehicle, turn front
wheels to straight-ahead position.
Self-help
z Never change more than one wheel at a
time.
z Block wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed by placing wedge
blocks, any available blocks of wood or
rocks behind and in front of it.
z Use jack only when changing wheels.
z If the ground on which the vehicle is
standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1 cm
thick) should be placed under the jack.
Using a thicker board could lead to
damage of the jack and the vehicle.
z Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
z Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on the jack.
