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 unless it has been programmed to automatic mode, switch off the ignition and engage first gear * to block the wheels. Check that the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the parking brake control lever come on. The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe. Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.

Practical information
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.
Extend the jack 2 until its head comes into contact with the jacking point A or B used; the vehicle's contact sur face at A or B must engage with the central part of the head of the jack.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack might slip or drop - Risk of injury! Take care to position the jack only at one of the vehicle's jacking points Aor B under the vehicle, ensuring that the contact sur face of the vehicle's jacking point is centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or that the jack might drop - Risk of injury!
