page 226, or with run-flat tires, refer to
page 226.
No spare tire is available in the case of a flat

Safety measures
▷Park the vehicle as far as possible from
passing traffic and on solid ground. Switch
on the hazard warning system.▷Set the parking brake and move the selec‐
tor lever to position P.▷Have all vehicle occupants get out of the
vehicle and ensure that they remain out‐
side the immediate area in a safe place,
such as behind a guardrail.▷If a warning triangle or portable hazard
warning lamp is required, set it up on the
roadside at an appropriate distance from
the rear of the vehicle.▷Change the wheel only on a level, firm sur‐
face which is not slippery. The vehicle or
the jack could slip to the side if you attempt
to raise the vehicle on a soft or slippery sur‐
face such as snow, ice, tiles, etc.▷Do not use a wooden block or similar object
as a support base for the jack, as this would
prevent it from extending to its full support
height and reduce its load-carrying ca‐
pacity.▷To avoid serious or fatal injury: never lie un‐
der the vehicle, and never start the engine
while it is supported by the jack.
