Changing a wheel

1. Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in P.

2. Take out the jack*, lug wrench*, the towing eyelet and the wheel cover removal tool* stowed under the floor of the trunk.

3. Remove the wheel cover (where applicable) using the removal tool or remove the wheel cover by hand.

4. Block the wheels that are on the ground with wooden blocks or large stones.

Lug wrench and towing eyelet

5. Screw the towing eyelet into the lug wrench as shown in the illustration.

6. With the vehicle still on the ground, use the lug wrench/towing eyelet to loosen the wheel nuts ½ – 1 turn by exerting downward (counterclockwise) pressure.

Jack attachment points

7. There are two jack attachment points on each side of the vehicle. Position the jack correctly in the attachment (see the illustration) and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground.

The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the vehicle, check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment.

8. Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground.

9. Unscrew the wheel nuts completely and remove the wheel.
