a tyre-changing tool.
If yo ur vehicle is equipped with a tyre-change tool
kit, you can find it in theve hicle tool kit in the

Some tools forch anging a wheel are specific to
th eve hicle. For more information on which tyre-

per form ing a wheel change on your vehicle, con‐
sult a qualified specialist workshop.
Re quired tyre-change tool kits may include the

R Ratchet ring spanner
% The jack has a maximum
weight of 7.5 kg
depending on theve hicle's equipment.
