Changing a wheel

Preliminary work

The following steps should be carried out before actually changing the

wheel.

Fig. 224 Luggage compart-

ment: Spare wheel

–

If it is necessary to change a wheel, park the vehicle as far away as

possible from the traffic flow. The place you choose should be level.

The spare wheel lies in a well under the floor covering of the luggage compartment

and is fixed in place using special screws ⇒ fig. 224.

Have all the occupants get out. While changing a wheel, the occu-

pants of the vehicle should not stand on the road (e.g. behind a crash

barrier).

Before removing the spare wheel, you must take out the box with the vehicle tool

kit box ⇒ page 246, fig. 223.

One should check the inflation pressure in the spare wheel (at best when generally

checking the tyre air pressures - see sign on the fuel filler flap ⇒ page 238) to

ensure that the spare wheel is always ready to use.

–

Apply the handbrake firmly.

Engage 1st gear or if your vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox,

position the selector lever into position P.

Temporary spare wheel

If a trailer is coupled, uncouple it.

A warning label displayed on the rim of the temporary spare wheel indicates that

your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare wheel.
