• Use the wheelbrace1to loosen
the wheel bolts slightly. Fit it so
that you press downwards and
not upwards.
• Offer up the jack horizontally, the
jack head must be slid
underneath the jacking point
under the body, nearest the wheel
concerned.

to align the base plate (which
should be inclined further
inwards than the jack head). Use a
piece of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.• Insert the end of the wheelbrace2
into the jack3and turn a few
times to lift the wheel off the
ground:
• Remove the bolts.
• Take off the wheel.
• Position the emergency spare
wheel on the central hub and turn
it to locate the mounting holes in
the wheel and the hub.
• Tighten the bolts and lower the
jack.
• Tighten the bolts fully when the
wheel is on the ground.Park your vehicle on firm,
flat ground (if necessary,
placing a plank under the
base of the jack).
Switch on the hazard warning
lights.
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, orPon an
automatic gearbox).
Ask all the passengers to get out of
the vehicle and keep them away
from moving traffic.
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be
inspected (and repaired if possible)
by a specialist.
