Roadside Emergency 6 - 9
Wheel Changing Procedure
1. Ensure that all passengers are in a safe place, clear of the vehicle.
2. Apply the parkbrake and select gear position ‘P’ (Park).
3. Ensure that the jack is placed on firm and level ground.
Note: When one rear wheel is lifted off
the ground the selection of gear position
‘P’ (Park) will not prev ent the vehicle from
moving and possibly slipping off the jack.
!WARNING:
1. Before attempting to lift the vehicle with the jack, chock the
wheel diagonally opposite to the
wheel being replaced to prevent
the vehicle from rolling when
jacked up. A wheel chock is
supplied with the jacking
equipment for this purpose.
2. Never work under the vehicle using only the jack as a support,
always use axle stands or suitable
supports under the jacking points. Observe the instructions printed on the
jack.
Use the jack only for lifting the vehicle
during wheel changing, and only use the
jack which is stored in the vehicle.
Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is only supported by a jack.
Removing the wheel
Before raising the vehicle slacken but do
not remove the wheel nuts.
There are four jacking points, two each
side of the vehicle on the underside of the
floor. These provide positive location for
the jack. To locate the jacking
point, feel along the
sill panel to the cut-away portion and
then fit the jack to the body, as shown,
not to the sill panel .
Caution: Ensure before raising the
vehicle that the jack is correctly
positioned to avoid any damage to
the vehicle sills or sill panels.
Use only the correct jacking points,
never use bumpers or any other part
of the body to lift the vehicle.
