Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur-
face where it will not slip (if neces-
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the hand brake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.

Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Depending on the vehicle, position
adapter 1 on the wheel bolt.
Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the
wheel bolts 2. Position it so as to be
able to push from above.
Crank up jack 3 by hand to position the
jack head against jacking point 4 clos-
est to the wheel concerned and, de-
pending on the vehicle, marked by an
arrow 5.
Continue to crank the jack so that the
baseplate is correctly positioned (it
should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with jack head A).
Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off
the ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.
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.
