ing lights.

and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the hubcap.
Use the wheelbrace 3 to slacken off
the wheel bolts. Fit it so that you press

wards.

If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle's presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
Place the jack 4 horizontally; the jack
head must be lined up with the sill 1
closest to the wheel concerned, as
shown by arrow 2.
Crank up the jack 4 by hand at first to
align the base plate (which should be
inclined further inwards than the jack
head).
Continue to crank the jack so that the
baseplate is correctly positioned (it
should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with the jack head).
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts
off the ground.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
