List of operations
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Stop the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake, unless it is
programmed in automatic mode; switch
off the ignition and put the vehicle into first
gear* so as to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp and
the P warning lamp in the parking brake
control lever come on.
For more safety, position the chock
2 against the wheel opposite the one you
are replacing.
Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse – Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned only at
one of the jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact surface is centred on the head of
the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged and/or the jack could collapse –
Risk of injury!
F Remove the bolt cover(s) using the tool 4
(according to equipment).
F Fit security socket 5 on wheelbrace 1 to
slacken the security bolt (according to
equipment).
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
F Slacken the other bolts (no more than
a 1/4 turn) using the wheelbrace 1 only.
Do not use:
-
the jack for any other purpose than
lifting the vehicle,
8
-
a jack other than the one supplied by
the manufacturer.
F Extend the jack 3 until its head comes into
contact with jacking point A or B used,
with contact surface A or B on the vehicle
correctly engaged with the central part of
the head of the jack.
