Undo the bolts and take the wheel
off.
Position the emergency spare wheel
on the hub and turn it so that the
holes in the wheel and the hub
coincide.
If bolts are supplied with the
emergency spare wheel, only use
these bolts for the emergency spare
wheel. Tighten the bolts and lower
the jack.
1
With the wheel on the ground, fully
tighten the bolts and check the
tightening as quickly as possible
(tightening torque 110 Nm).
3
Remove the hubcap if necessary.
Park the vehicle on firm,
level ground which is not
slippery (avoid tiled floors,
etc.) - if necessary, place a
plank under the jack. Switch on the
hazard warning lights.
Undo the wheel bolts using
wheelbrace 1. Fit it so that you press
downwards rather than pulling
upwards.
Line the jack 3 up horizontally, the
jack head must be positioned at the
same height as plate mounting 2, as
close as possible to the wheel
concerned, indicated by an arrow 4.
Apply the handbrake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for
automatic gearboxes).
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
the traffic.
Crank up the jack by hand at first to
align the base plate (which should
be inclined further inwards than the
jack head).
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be
inspected (and repaired if
possible) by a specialist.
