REMOVING THE SPARE WHEEL
Remove the spare wheel prior to
jacking the vehicle, to avoid
destabilising the vehicle when raised.
The spare wheel is heavy and if
handled incorrectly may cause injury.
Use extreme caution when lifting or
manoeuvring the wheels.
Always secure the spare wheel, or the
removed wheel, in the correct position
using the retaining bolt.
Do not use power tools to loosen the
spare wheel. Doing so may damage the
mechanism.
1. To access the temporary spare wheel, fold
forward the rear edge of the cover then
remove it.
2. Turn the temporary spare wheel locking
ring counter-clockwise to gain access to
the retaining bolt.
3. Turn the retaining bolt counter-clockwise
until it comes free.
4. Remove the temporary spare wheel.
IMPORTANT – USE OF SPARE TYRE
Adhere to the instructions on the
temporary spare wheel warning label,
affixed to the wheel. Failure to do so
may cause vehicle instability and/or
tyre failure.
Where fitted, the temporary spare
wheel is FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY.
Drive with caution while the
temporary spare wheel is fitted. Make
sure an original size wheel and tyre
are fitted as soon as possible.
Do not fit more than one temporary
use spare wheel on the vehicle at any
one time.
The temporary use spare wheel must
be inflated to 4.2 bar (60 psi, 420 kPa)
and cannot be repaired.

maximum speed is 80 km/h (50 mph).
DSC must be switched on while the

cannot be used with a temporary

USING WHEEL CHOCKS
Note: Wheel chocks are not supplied as part of
the tool kit.
Wheel chocks are a useful addition to a vehicle
tool kit. Note the following advice when using
wheel chocks.
Before raising the vehicle, the wheel
diagonally opposite the one to be
removed must be chocked.
Always chock the wheels using
suitable wheel chocks. Place the
chocks on both sides of the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
If jacking the vehicle on a slight slope
is unavoidable, place the chocks on
the downhill side of both wheels on
the axle not being raised.
LOCKING WHEEL NUTS
Locking wheel nuts can be removed only by
using the special adaptor provided in the tool
kit.
Note: When the vehicle is first supplied, the
adaptor may be stored in the glove
compartment. It should be removed and stored
in the tool kit as soon as possible.
