Changing a Wheel  
If you need to change the wheel during the journey, choose  
a safe place to stop away from the main road if possible.  
Always ask your passengers to get out of the car and wait  
in a safe area away from other traffic.  
Switch on hazard warning lamps. If available, position  
a warning triangle about 50 to 150 metres behind your  
vehicle to warn approaching traffic.  
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front wheels are in the  
straight ahead position. Apply the parking brake and place  
the gear shift lever in ParkP.

Observe the following precautions:  
Ensure the jack is positioned on firm, level ground.  
If the vehicle must be parked on the hill, place chocks  
in front of and behind other 3 wheels to prevent the  
vehicle moving.

EMERGENCY INFORMATION  
Positioning the Jack  
NEVER work beneath the car with the jack  
as the only means of support. The jack is  
designed for wheel changing only!  
NEVER jack the car using any positions other  
than the jacking points. Serious damage to  
the car could result.  
Avoid accidental contact with any underbody  
parts, especially hot exhaust system  
components.  
Position the jack on firm level ground under the jacking  
point nearest the wheel to be removed. Note that the  
domed head of the jack must fit into the corresponding  
recess in the sill plate (There is a triangle indicator in the  
area shown by the arrowhead. See the illustration below).  
Turning the jack screw handle by hand, adjust the jack until  
the jack head fits snugly onto the flanging of the body.  
Ensure that the base of the jack is in full contact with the  
level ground.

When the spacesaver spare wheel is fitted, the vehicle  
speed should not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Please have  
the full-scale tyre repaired and replace the spare wheel as  
soon as possible. This will extend the life span of the spare  
wheel for other emergencies.
