Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur-
face where it will not slip (if neces-
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
– Undo the wheel bolts as shown
by the arrow using wheelbrace 1.

If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle's presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
– start cranking the jack using handle 4
to position the jack head in the centre
of plate mounting 2 (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
– turn handle 4 several times to lift the
wheel off the ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with
the jack and wheel wrench, these
can be obtained from an approved
dealer.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
