Vehicles equipped with a jack 
and wheelbrace 
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use  the  wheelbrace  to  slacken  off  the 
wheel  bolts  2 .  Position  it  so  as  to  be 
able to push from above.
Start  extending  jack 4  by  hand,  turning 
the handle.
Position  the  jack  head  against  jacking 
point 1  closest  to  the  wheel  concerned 
and, depending on the vehicle, the area 
marked  by  a  triangle.  If  the  ground  is 
soft,  place  a  plank  of  wood  under  the 
baseplate.
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from 
traffic  and  on  a  level  sur -
face  where  it  will  not  slip  (if  neces -
sary, place a solid support under the 
jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage 
a gear (first or reverse, or  P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask  all  the  passengers  to  leave  the 
vehicle  and  keep  them  away  from 
traffic.
changIng a wheel (1/2)
Continue  tightening  to  position  the 
baseplate on the ground correctly. Turn 
handle  3 on the jack to lift the wheel off 
the ground.
To prevent any risk of injury 
or  damage  to  the  vehicle, 
only crank the jack until the 
wheel  you  are  replacing  is 
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the 
ground.
If  the  vehicle  is  parked  on 
the hard shoulder, you must 
warn  other  road  users  of 
your  vehicle’s  presence 
with a warning triangle or with other 
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a 
jack  or  wheelbrace,  you  can  obtain 
these from your approved dealer.
