CHANGING A WHEEL
REMOVING A WHEEL
1. Park the vehicle on level, sta-
ble and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake.
Switch off the ignition, check
that the parking brake is ap-
plied (message and warning
lamp in the instrument panel)
and engage first gear or re-
verse gear depending on the
slope (P if an automatic gear-
box, D or R if a 6-speed elec-
tronic gearbox).
2. Use a chock to secure the ve-
hicle more safely. Place the
chock in front of the wheel that
is opposite the wheel affected.
3. Detach the trim using the re-
moving tool 4, pulling in the
area of the valve.
For vehicles with alloy wheels,
insert the trim removing tool 1
into the recess in the central
trim and lever it off.
For vehicles with alloy wheels
that have visible bolts, remove
the chromes covers using the
tool 2.
Before any operation of this sort, it is advisable to deactivate your pneumatic suspension
(see « Pneumatic suspension »). When changing a wheel, it is essential to immobilise
the vehicle on ground that is level, stable and non-slippery.
4. Slacken the wheel bolts. For
vehicles with alloy wheels,
undo the anti-theft bolts using
tool 9.
5. Position the jack under the
vehicle (see diagrams), at the
jacking point A closest to the
wheel to be changed.
6. Unwind the jack 5 until its
bracket is in contact with the
ground. Make sure that the
jack is vertical under the jack-
ing point used.
7. Continue to extend the jack so
as to raise the vehicle.
8. Undo the wheel bolts and re-
move the wheel.
