· Cars with steel rims have removable wheel covers. Prise off the wheel
cover with a thick screwdriver or the like. If tools are not available, the
wheel cover can be prised off by hand. Use protective gloves. When
you reinstall the wheel covers: ensure that the wheel cover valve hole
is opposite the wheel's air valve.

loosened by turning anticlockwise.
There are two jacking points on each side of the car. The jacking points
are marked on the door sill trims.
The spare wheel is under the plastic trough in the cargo compartment.
Remember to set out the warning triangle.
· Apply the parking brake and put the car into first gear if it has a
manual gearbox - position P on cars with automatic gearbox. Put
chocks in front of and behind the wheels to remain on the ground.

Fitting
· Clean the contract surfaces on the wheel and
hub.
· Mount the wheel and tighten the wheel bolts.
· Lower the car so that the wheels cannot
rotate. Tighten the wheel studs crosswise and
in torque steps. Tightening torque: 140 Nm
(14.0 kpm). It is important that they are
tightened to the correct torque. Tightening
should be checked with a torque wrench.
· Fit the hub cap.
· Screw the jack together before returning it
to the cargo compartment.
· Ensure that the jack and tool kit are properly
secured and do not rattle.
WARNING!
· Never crawl under the car when it is
raised on a jack!
· The car and the jack should be on a
solid horizontal surface.
· The car's original jack should be used
for wheel changing. All other work on
the car should be carried out using
workshop jacks and axle stands under
the part of the car which is raised.
· Apply the parking brake, put the car
in 1st gear or reverse on manual
gearbox and position P on the
automatic gearbox.
· Put chocks in front of and behind the
wheels to remain on the ground. Use
large wooden blocks or large stones.
· The jack screw should be kept well
lubricated.
