CHANGING A WHEEL
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst
gear (position P for the automatic gearbox) to lock the wheels.
It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite
the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
Security socket: for adaptation of the
wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
Specifi c to your vehicle, it is stored in the
glove box.
Wheelbrace: for removal of the wheel fi xing
bolts.
Jack with integrated handle: for lifting the
vehicle.
TOOLS REQUIRED *
Bolt cover removal tool: for removal of the
bolt fi nishers (covers) on alloy wheels.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
REMOVING THE WHEEL
Place the jack in contact with one of the two front A or rear B
locations provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed. Raise the vehicle until there is suffi cient 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.
Remove the cover on each of the bolts using the bolt cover removal
tool.
Fit the security socket on the wheelbrace to slacken the security bolt.
Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace only. Extend the jack until its base plate is in contact with the ground.
Ensure that the centreline of the jack base plate is directly below
the location A or B used.
