Removing the Flat Tyre and
Installing the Spare Tyre
1. Do a safety check before
proceeding. See If a Tyre Goes
Flat on page 9‑56 for more
information.
2. Turn the wheel wrench
anticlockwise to loosen the
wheel nut caps.
If needed, finish loosening them
by hand. The nut caps will not
come off of the wheel cover.
The edge of the wheel cover
could be sharp, so do not try to
remove the cover with your bare
hands. Do not drop the cap or
lay it face down, as it could
become scratched or damaged.
Store the wheel cover in the
boot until you have the flat tyre
repaired or replaced.
