List of operations  
Removing a wheel  
) If your vehicle is equipped with secu-  
rity wheel bolts (equipment available as  
an accessory) fit the security socket 5  
on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken the  
security bolt.  
) Slacken the other bolts using the  
wheelbrace 1 only.  
) Place the jack 2 in contact with one  
of the two front A or rear B locations  
provided on the underbody, which-  
ever is closest to the wheel to be  
changed.  
) Extend the jack 2 until its base plate  
is in contact with the ground. Ensure  
that the centreline of the jack base  
plate is directly below the location A  
or B used.  
Parking the vehicle  
Immobilise the vehicle where it does  
not block traffic: if possible, park the  
vehicle on level, stable and non-slip-  
pery ground.  
Apply the parking brake, switch off  
the ignition and engage first gear to  
lock the wheels.  
If necessary, place a chock under  
the wheel diagonally opposite the  
wheel to be changed.  
Never go underneath a vehicle  
raised using a jack; use a stand.  
) Raise the vehicle until there is suffi-  
cient space between the wheel and  
the ground to admit the spare (not  
punctured) wheel easily.  
) Remove the bolts and store them in  
a clean place.  
) Remove the wheel.
