Wheels and tyres
Place at least one warning triangle if
changing a wheel on a public road. Ensure
that the car and jack are on a secure flat
surface.
1. Take out the spare wheel, jack and
wheel brace. These are under the carpet
in the cargo compartment.
2. Apply the handbrake. If the car is
manual, engage first gear. Select P if the
car is automatic.
3. Place chocks on either side of the
wheels remaining on the ground. Use
large wooden blocks or large stones.
Removing wheels
4. Cars with steel rims have removable
wheel covers. Pry off the wheel cover
using the end of the wheel brace. It can
also be pulled off by hand. When
refitting the wheel cover, make sure the
cover is properly aligned over the air
valve.
5. Slacken off the wheel nuts by ½-1 turns
anti-clockwise using the wheel brace.
6. There are two jacking points on either
side of the car. Hold the jack against the
pin in the jacking point as shown and
wind down the jack foot so that it is
pressed flat against the ground. Check
that the jack sits securely in the
anchorage as shown and that the foot is
positioned vertically underneath the
anchorage.
7. Lift the car so that the wheel is free.
Remove the wheel nuts and lift off the
wheel.
