Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic; the ground must be level, stable and not slippery. Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage first gear to block the wheels. Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
If your vehicle has security bolts (available as an accessory), fit the security bolt socket 5 to the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security bolt. Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 o n l y.
Never use a jack other than the one provided by the manufacturer.
Place the foot of the jack 2 on the ground and ensue that it is directly below the front A or rear B jacking point provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the wheel to be changed.
Wheel with trim
When removing the wheel , remove the trim first using the handle 3 , pulling at the cutout. When refitting the wheel , refit the trim starting by placing its cutout opposite the valve and press on its outer edge with the palm of your hand.

Extend the jack 2 until it comes into contact with the jacking point A or B used; the contact area A or B on the vehicle must be correctly inserted into the central part of the head of the jack.
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient space between the wheel and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place. Remove the wheel.
Ensure that the jack is stable.
If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop - Risk of injury! Ensure that the jack is positioned only at the jacking point A or B under the vehicle, ensuring that the contact area on the vehicle is well centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack dropping or slipping - Risk of injury!
