Wheel trim
Remove using the hubcap tool 6 by
connecting the hook in the recess pro-
vided next to the valve 8 (to secure the
metal clip).
To refit the wheel trim, align it with
valve 8. Push the retaining hooks in
fully, starting with side A near the valve,
followed by B and C, finishing at D op-
posite the valve.
Note: if you are using anti-theft bolts,
refer to the information on “Changing a
wheel”.
Do not leave the tools un-
secured inside the vehicle
as they may come loose
under braking. After use,
check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then posi-
tion it correctly in its housing: risk of
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the
tool kit, only use these bolts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the
label affixed to the emergency spare
wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.

Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel onto
the hub and rotate it until the mounting
holes in the wheel coincide with those
of the hub.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency
spare wheel, only use these bolts for
the emergency spare wheel. Tighten
the bolts, checking that the wheel is
correctly positioned on its hub and un-
screw the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and have the tightness of
the bolts checked and the emergency
spare wheel pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Anti-theft bolt
If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these
nearest the valve (wheel embel-
lisher may not be able to fit).
If you have a puncture, re-
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.
