In the event of a breakdown
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode
P
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
Check that the parking brake indicator lamps
on the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
► To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of
the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
►
Fit security socket
2 on wheelbrace

to
slacken the security bolt.
►
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace
5
only.
Never use an impact wrench on the
security bolt socket.
► Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear
B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.
► Extend jack 6 until its head comes into
contact with jacking point A or B; contact area A
or B on the vehicle must be properly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
►
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
easily admit the spare (not punctured) wheel.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse - risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack strictly at
one of the jacking points
A
or B under the
vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area on the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury!
