REMOVING A WHEEL
1. Park the vehicle on level, sta-ble and non-slippery ground. Apply the parking brake.
Switch off the ignition, check that the parking brake is ap-plied (message and warning lamp in the instrument panel) and engage fi rst gear or re-verse gear depending on the slope (P if an automatic gear-box, D or R if a 6-speed elec-tronic gearbox).
2. Use a chock to secure the ve-hicle more safely. Place the chock in front of the wheel that is opposite the wheel affected.
3. Detach the trim using the re-moving tool 4, pulling in the area of the valve.
For vehicles with alloy wheels, insert the trim removing tool 1into the recess in the central trim and lever it off.
For vehicles with alloy wheels that have visible bolts, remove the chromes covers using the tool 2.
Before any operation of this sort, it is advisable to deactivate your pneumatic suspension (see “Pneumatic sus-pension”). When changing a wheel, it is essential to immobil ise the vehicle on ground that is level, stable and non-slippery.
4. Slacken the wheel bolts. For vehicles with alloy wheels, undo the anti-theft bolts using tool 9.
5. Position the jack under the vehicle (see diagrams), at the jacking point A closest to the wheel to be changed.
6. Unwind the jack 5 until its bracket is in contact with the ground. Make sure that the jack is vertical under the jack-ing point used.
7. Continue to extend the jack so as to raise the vehicle.
8. Undo the wheel bolts and re-move the wheel.
