Wheel change

Switch on the hazard warning lights.

Park the vehicle clear of traffic on level, non-slip, firm ground.

Apply the parking brake and engage a gear (first or reverse, or P for automatic gearboxes).

Have all occupants get out of the vehicle and keep them away from the traffic area.

Vehicles fitted with jack and wheel brace

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.

Loosen the wheel bolts using the wheel brace 1. Position it so that you can apply pressure to it.

Start screwing the jack 2 in by hand so that its head is correctly seated on the nearest sheet-metal jacking point to the wheel concerned, marked by an arrow 3.

If you park on the side of the road, you must warn other road users of your vehicle's presence using a warning triangle or other devices required by the local legislation of the country you are in.

Continue turning until the base is correctly positioned (it must be under the vehicle and aligned vertically with the jack head).

Turn a few more times to lift the wheel off the ground.

If the vehicle is not equipped with the jack, wheel brace, etc., you can obtain them from a brand representative.

To avoid any risk of injury or damage to the vehicle, raise the jack until the wheel to be replaced is no more than 3 centimetres off the ground.

Remove the bolts and take off the wheel.

Fit the spare wheel onto the central hub and turn it so that the fixing holes of the wheel and hub line up.

Tighten the bolts, making sure the wheel sits flat against its hub.

Lower the jack.

With the wheel on the ground, tighten the bolts firmly and have the tightening torque (105 N.m) and the spare wheel inflation pressure checked as soon as possible.

In the event of a puncture, replace the wheel as soon as possible.

A punctured tyre must always be inspected by a specialist and repaired if possible.

Never leave tools loose in the vehicle: they may be thrown forward during braking. After use, make sure the tools are returned to their holder, then place the holder correctly in its compartment: risk of injury.

When wheel bolts are supplied, use these bolts only for the spare wheel: refer to the label on the spare wheel.

The jack is intended for changing a wheel only. It must never be used to carry out a repair or to work underneath the vehicle.
