Spare wheel – removing
The spare wheel is located underneath the
car. The jack and tool kit with crank are
located under the floor hatch. Jack position
varies depending on whether it is a variant
seating seven (1) or five (2).
Detach the spare wheel as follows:
– Lower the bottom of the tailgate.
– Lift up the floor hatch in the cargo
compartment.
– Remove the two parts of the crank from
the tool kit and assemble them.
– Fit the crank in the winch.
– Loosen the tyre by cranking anticlockwise
until you reach the stop.

– Release the wheel from the cable.
– Rewind up the cable (clockwise).
NOTE! The cable could damage the car if it
hangs free while driving.
4. Place the punctured tyre in the cargo
compartment. The tool kit contains a
plastic bag for the tyre.
NOTE! The spot under the car is only
intended for the car's original spare wheel.
Do not place any other wheels there.
Spare wheel – refitting
It is best to have two people put the spare
wheel back in place. One person to crank
and the other to guide the wheel.
– Crank out the cable and place its anchor
in the centre hole of the wheel.
– Slowly crank (clockwise) the cable in a
bit.
– Angle the wheel so that it comes in over
the exhaust system.
– Hold down the rear edge of the wheel
while cranking it in.
– Place the wheel above the rear axle,
against the floor.
– Crank until you reach the stop.
Check that the wheel is properly secured!
