REMOVAL
1. Park the vehicle on stable, firm ground that is not slippery. Apply the
parking brake.
2. With the engine idling, adjust the ground clearance to maximum height.
See « Comfort » and « Adjusting the ground clearance ». Switch off the
ignition and engage first gear or reverse gear depending on any slope
(for a vehicle with automatic gearbox, select position P).
3. Position the chock at the wheel that is diametrically opposite the one to
be replaced.
4. Position the jack at one of the four jacking-points provided on the sub-
frame close to the wheels, then use the handle to unwind the jack until it
reaches the ground.
5. Slide the removal tool 4 into the notch and lever vigorously to detach the
anti-theft bolt protector. See illustration. You can use the handle at the
extremity of the tool 4.
6. Slacken the wheel bolts.
7. Continue to extend the jack until the wheel is a few centimetres off the
ground.
8. Undo the bolts, remove the wheel.
Before positioning the jack, always adjust the vehicle's ground
clearance to the « maximum height » position and retain this
adjustment for as long as the jack is under the vehicle (do not
use the hydraulic adjustements).
Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by the
jack.
The jack and all the tools are designed specifically for use on your
particular vehicle. Do not use them for any other applications.
Have the original wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible.
It is imperative not to exceed a speed of 80 km / h on the spare
wheel.
