Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear* to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp in the parking
brake control lever come on.
If necessary, place a chock against
the wheel opposite the wheel to be
changed.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
