CHANGING A WHEEL
•Remove the wheel embellisher
(see section on embellishers).
• 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.
• Screw up the jack by hand at first
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.
