away
General information
The vehicle manufacturer recommends to ad-
ditionally secure the vehicle against rolling
away when changing a wheel.
On a level surface
Place wheel chocks or other suitable objects in
front and behind the wheel that is diagonal to
the wheel to be changed.
On a slight downhill gradient
If you need to change a wheel on a slight
downhill grade, place chocks and other suit-
able objects, for instance rocks, under the
proper side of the wheels of both the front and
rear axles to block the car from rolling downhill.
