Changing a wheel*

Introduction
The tyres mounted on the vehicle are anti-puncture. The wheels should only
be changed when switching from summer to winter tyres or vice-versa. See
page 300
You should only change the wheels yourself if the vehicle is parked in a safe
place, you are familiar with the procedure and you have all the necessary
tools! Otherwise, you should seek professional assistance.

Please observe the following rules to minimise the risk of injury:
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Park your vehicle a safe
distance from surrounding traffic to change a wheel.
When changing a wheel, keep all passengers and particularly children
a safe distance away from the work area.
