Wheel changing
Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 162.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
■ Park the vehicle on a level, firm and
non-slippery surface. The front wheels must be in the straight-ahead position.
■ Apply the parking brake and engage first gear or reverse gear.
■ Remove the spare wheel 3 166.
■ Never change more than one wheel
at a time.
■ Use the jack only to change wheels
in case of puncture, not for a
seasonal winter or summer tyre
change.
■ If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be placed
under the jack.■ Take heavy objects out of the vehicle before jacking up.
■ No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked-up.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
■ Do not start the engine when the vehicle is raised on the jack.
1. Remove the wheel cover (using the hook supplied). Vehicle tools
3 156.
2. Loosen each of the wheel bolts by
half a turn using the wheel
wrench. Ensure the wrench
locates securely. The wrench
should turn anticlockwise to
loosen the bolts. Invert the wrench if necessary.
3. Place lifting pad spigot of the jack
under the jacking hole located
nearest the wheel concerned.
Ensure the jack is positioned
correctly. The jack base must be
on the ground directly below the
jacking hole in a manner that
prevents it from slipping.
4. Install wrench onto the jack and raise the vehicle by turning the
wrench until the wheel is clear of
the ground.
