Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where
it does not block traffi c: the
ground must be level, stable and
non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it
has been programmed to automatic
mode, switch off the ignition and put
the gear lever in the A , M or R posi-
tion to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp on the park-
ing brake control come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel
to be changed.
The occupants must get out of the ve-
hicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
Remove the chromed bolt cover from
each of the bolts using the tool 3
(according to equipment).
Fit the security socket 5 on the
wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security
bolt (if your vehicle has them).
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1 only.
Place the jack 2 in contact with one
of the two front A or rear B locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
Extend the jack 2 until its base plate
is in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centreline of the jack base
plate is directly below the location A
or B used.
Raise the vehicle until there is suf-
fi cient space between the wheel and
the ground to admit the spare (not
punctured) wheel easily.
Remove the bolts and store them in
a clean place.
Remove the wheel.
