► With a steel wheel, remove the wheel trim using tool 7.► With an alloy wheel, remove the cap from each of the bolts using tool 7.
► If the vehicle is so equipped, fit security bolt socket 8 to wheelbrace 5 to slacken the security bolt.
► Slacken (without removing) the other wheel bolts using just wheelbrace 5.

Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or collapse.Ensure that the jack is positioned strictly at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's contact surface is correctly centred on the head of the jack. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing.
