► Release the hanger from the hook, then

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear to
lock the wheels, apply the parking brake and
switch off the ignition.
Check for the fixed illumination of the
parking brake indicator lamps in the
instrument panel.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first
remove the wheel trim by pulling at the
valve aperture.
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel
trim, starting by placing its aperture in line
with the valve and then pushing it into place
all round its edge with the palm of your
hand.
Wheel nuts removing pattern
► Loosen the nuts on the wheel in diagonal
sequence. Do not remove wheel nuts.
In the event of a breakdown
► Slacken the bolts using the wheel wrench 3
only.
► Place the foot of jack 1 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A
or rear B jacking point on the underbody,
whichever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
