For your own safety and the safety of the passengers, the following instruc-
tions must be observed before changing a wheel on the road.
Switch on the hazard warning lights system.
Place the warning triangle at the prescribed distance.
Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the flowing traffic.
Choose a location with a flat, solid surface.
Have all the occupants get out. The passengers should not stand on the
road (instead they should remain behind a crash barrier, for instance) while
the wheel is being changed.
Tyres with increased puncture resistance
Some vehicles may be fitted with tyres at the factory that have increased
puncture resistance (so-called “SEAL” tyres).
These vehicles are delivered without a puncture repair kit, spare wheel and
appropriate hand tools.
If the tyres with increased puncture resistance are replaced with tyres that
have no increased puncture resistance then the vehicle should be equipped
with a puncture repair kit, spare wheel and appropriate hand tools.
Preparation
Before changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
For vehicles with manual transmission engage 1st gear.
›
On vehicles with
automatic transmission place the selector lever in the P po-
sition.
›
