wheel with an appropriate block or
wheel chock.
Make sure that the arrows on
directional tires point in the direction
of rotation when your vehicle is
moving forwards. If you have to fit a spare
wheel with the arrows pointing in the
opposite direction, have the tire refitted in
the correct direction by an authorized
dealer.
Do not work underneath your vehicle
when it is supported only by a jack.
Make sure that the jack is vertical to
the jacking point and the base is flat
on the ground.
Do not lay alloy wheels face down
on the ground, this will damage the
paint.
Note: The spare wheel is located on the
rear swing gate.
