Changing A Wheel - Renault Sandero Owner's Manual

CHANGING A WHEEL

Park the vehicle away from
traffic and on level ground
which is not slippery (place
a plank under the jack if
necessary). Switch on the hazard
warning lights.
Apply the hand brake and engage a
gear (first or reverse).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.
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.

Remove the wheel trim (refer to the in-
formation on "Wheel trims").
Use the wheelbrace 1 to slacken off
the wheel bolts. Fit it so that you press
downwards rather than pulling up-
wards.
Present the jack horizontally, the jack
head must slide in the lower slot in the
body, as close as possible to the wheel
concerned.
Crank up the jack 2 by hand to align the
base plate (slightly inwards under the
vehicle). Place a plank of wood under
the base plate if on soft ground.
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts
off the ground.
Remove the bolts.
Take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on the
central hub and turn it to locate the
1
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, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub
and lower the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten
the nuts as fully as possible and check
the tightness as soon as possible (tight-
ening torque 105 Nm).
