Changing a Wheel *
If you need to change the wheel during the
journey, choose a safe place to stop away
from the main road if possible. Always ask
your passengers to get out of the car and wait
in a safe area away from other traffic.
Switch on hazard warning lamps. If available,
position a warning triangle about 50 to
150 metres behind your vehicle to warn
approaching traffic.
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front
wheels are in the straight ahead position.
Apply the parking brake and , where possible
ensure P is selected.
Observe the following precautions:
• Ensure the jack is positioned on firm,
level ground.
• If the vehicle must be parked on the hill,
place chocks in front of and behind the
other 3 wheels to prevent the vehicle
moving.

Position the jack on firm level ground under
the jacking point nearest the wheel to be
removed. Note that the domed head of the
jack must fit into the corresponding recess in
the sill plate (There is a triangle indicator in
the area shown by the arrowhead).
Turning the jack screw by hand, adjust the
jack until the jack head fits snugly onto the
sill in the correct area. Ensure that the base
of the jack is in full contact with the level
ground.
