Changing a wheel

Preliminary work
The following steps should be carried out before actually changing the wheel.

If it is necessary to change a wheel, park the vehicle as far away as possible
–
from the traffic flow. The place you choose should be level.
Have all the occupants get out. While changing a tyre, the occupants of the
–
vehicle should not stand on the road (instead they should remain behind a
crash barrier, for example).
– Apply the handbrake firmly.
– Engage 1st gear or if your vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox, position
the selector lever into position P.
– If a trailer is coupled, uncouple it.
Take the vehicle tool kit ⇒ p age 208 and the spare wheel ⇒ p age 209 out of
