Practical information
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and block the
wheels:
-
by engaging 1st gear, with a manual
gearbox,
-
by placing the gear selector at
position R with an electronic
gearbox,

Remove the bolt cover from each of the
bolts using the tool 7 (depending on
equipment).
Fit the security socket 3 on the
wheelbrace 5 to slacken the security bolt
(if your vehicle has them).

Position the foot the jack 6 on the ground
and ensure that it is directly below one
of the front A or rear B jacking points
provided on the underbody, whichever is
closest to the wheel to be changed.
-
by placing the gear selector at
position P with an automatic
gearbox.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp on the parking
brake control come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 5 only.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first
remove the wheel trim using the
wheelbrace 5 by pulling at the valve
cut-out.
When refitting the wheel, refit the
wheel trim by placing its cut-out at the
valve, and press round its edge with the
palm of your hand.
