2
Preparing to change the tyre
• If possible, only change the tyre when the
base vehicle is coupled to the caravan.
• Park the trailer carriage on as rm and even a
surface as possible.
• If you have tyre trouble on a public road, turn
on your hazard warning signal lights and set
up the warning triangle.
• Base vehicle: Pull the handbrake, set the
wheels straight, put the vehicle in gear or, if
you are driving an automatic, set the gear to P.
• Caravan: Pull the handbrake, leave the sup-
port wheel in its driving position, deactivate
the stabilization system (note: do not open
completely).
• Remove the wheel chocks
j
from the bottle
compartment.
• To secure the vehicle, place the wheel chock
j
in front of and behind the wheel that is still
intact.
• Before jacking up the vehicle, turn the wheel
screws once to loosen them, but do not un-
screw them any further.

If the caravan has alloy rims, note
that the correct wheel screws are
used when installing the spare tyre
afxed to a steel rim.
• In the De Luxe easy model, the spare tire * k
is attached by means of a tommy screw to a
special holder in the gas bottle container at the
front left-hand side of the camper. The spare
tire can be removed after the tommy screw has
been unscrewed.
