Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block  traffic:   the   ground   must   be   level,  
s

table   and   not   slippery.
Apply
  the   parking   brake   unless   it   has  
b

een   programmed   to   automatic   mode,  
s

witch   off   the   ignition   and   engage   first  
g

ear*   to   block   the   wheels.
Check
  that   the   braking   warning   lamp  
a

nd the P   warning   lamp   in   the   parking  
b

rake   control   lever   come   on.
For
  greater   safety,   place   the   chock   2
against
  the   wheel   opposite   to   the   one  
b

eing
 c
hanged.
The
  occupants   must   get   out   of   the  
v

ehicle   and   wait   where   they   are   safe.
Never
  go   underneath   a   vehicle  
s

upported   by   a   jack;   use   an   axle   stand.

Charging the battery using a battery charger
If this label is present, it is essential
to
  use   only   a   12   V   charger,   to   avoid  
c

ausing   irreversible   damage   to   the  
el

ectrical components related to the
Stop

For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge
  the   battery:
-

i

f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
-
 
i

f
 
the   vehicle   is   to   be   taken   off   the   road   for  
s

everal   weeks.
