If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace to slacken off the
wheel bolts 1. Fit it so that you press
downwards rather than pulling up-
wards.
Start extending jack 2 by hand, turning
the handle. Position the head correctly
under vertical sill seam 3 nearest to the
wheel concerned and marked by an
oblong hole .
Continue turning the handle to position
the baseplate of the jack on the ground
correctly.
Turn a few times to lift the wheel off the
ground, remove the bolts and take off
the wheel.

or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
