CHANGING A WHEEL
Park the vehicle on firm,
level ground which is not
slippery (e.g. avoid tiled
floors), placing a plank
under the jack if necessary. Switch
on the hazard warning lights.
With the parking brake on, engage a
gear (first or reverse, or P for
automatic transmission).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
the traffic.
If necessary, remove the wheel
trim.
Undo the wheel bolts using
wheelbrace 1. Position it so that
you can push it from above.
Offer up the jack horizontally; the
jack head must be positioned at
the height of the metal support 2
provided in the lower section
of the bodywork closest to the
wheel concerned, which can be
accessed after opening the cover 3.
Insert the jack bracket fully into
metal support 2.
Screw up the jack by hand at first
to align the base plate (which
should be slightly further under
the vehicle than the jack head).
Place a plank of wood under the
base plate if on soft ground.
Turn a few times to lift the wheel
off the ground.
Remove the bolts.

Position the emergency spare
wheel on the hub and turn it so
that the holes in the wheel and
the hub coincide.
Tighten the bolts and lower the
jack.
Tighten the bolts fully when the
wheel is on the ground.
Clip the cover 3 back on.
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
A tyre which has been punctured
should always be inspected (and
repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.
