SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• Always apply the parking brake fully and correctly chock the wheels before
raising the vehicle. Applying only the parking brake is insufficient to prevent the
vehicle from moving. When a rear wheel is jacked up, the vehicle blocked only
by the parking brake would move, creating a very dangerous situation.
• Never open doors or start the engine while jacking up the wheel. Do not try to
look into the underside of the vehicle or get beneath the vehicle. This is very
dangerous.
• To avoid danger in case of the jack slipping off, place the removed spare tyre
near the jack under the vehicle.
CAUTION
• The wheel is heavy. Carefully handle it to avoid getting hurt when removing and
installing the wheel.
• Do not touch the exhaust pipe just after stopping the vehicle; it is very hot. Do
not change a tyre while diesel particulate defuser (DPD) regeneration is under
way, as the exhaust temperature is very high at that time.

Removing a Wheel
1. Firmly apply the parking brake. When
changing a front wheel, chock the rear
wheel diagonally opposite to the front
wheel. When changing a rear wheel,
chock the front wheel diagonally
opposite to the rear wheel.
2. Firmly apply the head of the jack to
the jacking point.
3. Raise the vehicle enough so that the
tyre not quite clear of the ground.
4. Using the wheel nut wrench, loosen
the wheel nuts just enough so that the
wheel remains stable in position. Do
not remove the wheel nuts yet.
• Do not loosen the wheel nuts too
much. The wheel studs would be
damaged.
