Changing a wheel

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

→ After changing a wheel
Some models are delivered without a factory-fitted jack or box spanner. If this is the case, the wheel should be changed by a qualified workshop.
The vehicle jack supplied with the vehicle is only designed for changing a wheel when one vehicle tyre is damaged and has to be replaced. If

Only change the wheel yourself when the car is parked in a safe place, you are familiar with the necessary steps and safety procedures, and you
have access to the correct tools. Seek expert assistance if this is not the case.
