In the event of a breakdown
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first
gear to lock the wheels, apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode, and switch off the
ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select
mode P to lock the wheels, apply the
parking brake, unless it is programmed
in automatic mode, and switch off the
ignition.
Check for the fixed illumination of the
parking brake indicator lamps in the
instrument panel.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a
chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Never go underneath a
vehicle raised
using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve
aperture using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel
trim, starting by placing its aperture in
line with the valve and then pushing it into
place all round its edge with the palm of
your hand.
F To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of
the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
F Fit security socket 2 on wheelbrace 5 to
slacken the security bolt.
F
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 5
only.
F Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A
or rear B jacking point on the underbody,
whichever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
