Changing wheels
The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess.
There are two jack attachment points on each side of the car.
To change a wheel:
· Engage the parking brake.
· Put the gear selector in (P)ark.
· Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool kit.
· With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 1 turn. Turn the bolts
counterclockwise to loosen.
· Position the jack on the bar in the attachment (A in the illustration in right column) and crank while simultaneously
guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface.
Before raising the car, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment.
· Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground.
· Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs.
