Changing A Wheel - Renault Scenic Driver's Handbook Manual

CHANGING A WHEEL

1
Park the vehicle away
from traffic if possible and
on level ground which is
not slippery (place a plank
under the jack if necessary). Switch
on the hazard warning lights.
With the assisted parking brake ap-
plied, engage a gear (first or reverse
gear or position P for automatic
gearboxes).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the
wheel bolts 1. Fit it so that you press
downwards rather than pulling up-
wards.
Line jack 3 up horizontally, the jack
head must be positioned at the same
height as plate mounting 2, as close as
possible to the wheel concerned, indi-
cated by an arrow 4.
Start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Turn the wheelbrace to lift the wheel off
the ground.
Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on the
central hub and turn it to locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency
spare wheel, only use these bolts for
the emergency spare wheel. Tighten
the bolts and lower the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten
the bolts as much as possible and get
a RENAULT Dealer to check the tight-
ness of the bolts as soon as possible
(tightening torque 130 Nm).
If you have a puncture, re-
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.
