CHANGING A WHEEL
Park your vehicle on firm,
flat ground (if necessary,
placing a plank under the
jack). Switch on the hazard
warning lights.
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse, or P for
automatic gearboxes).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
car and keep away from the traffic.
• If necessary, remove the wheel
hubcap.
• Use wheelbrace 1 to loosen the
wheel bolts slightly. Fit it so that
you press downwards and not
upwards.
• Offer up the jack horizontally, the
jack head must be slid
underneath jacking point 2 under
the body, nearest the wheel
concerned.
• Screw up the jack by hand at first
to align the base plate (which
should be inclined further
inwards than the jack head). Use a
piece of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.
• Insert the end of wheelbrace 4
into jack 3 and turn a few times to
lift the wheel off the ground.
• Remove the bolts.
•Takeoffthewheel.
• Position the emergency spare
wheel on the central hub and turn
it to locate the mounting holes in
the wheel and the hub.
• Tighten the bolts and lower the
jack.
• Tighten the bolts fully when the
wheel is on the ground.
If you have a puncture,
replace the wheel as soon
as possible.
A tyre which has been
punctured should always be
inspected (and repaired if
possible) by a specialist.
