Wheel Changing
OVERVIEW
Be prepared for a flat tire. Know where
equipment is stowed and read the wheel
changing and jacking instructions
carefully.
If a wheel change is required, pull off the
road completely. Park on ground which is
as level and solid as possible. Make sure
that the vehicle is clear of any objects that
will obstruct the safe removal of the
wheel. Switch on the hazard warning
indicators, and where legally required,
display a warning triangle.
!
WARNING:
• It can be dangerous to change a
wheel when the vehicle is on a
slope or soft, uneven ground.
• Wheels are extremely heavy. Take
care when lifting and particularly
when removing and replacing a
wheel in its storage position in the
luggage compartment.
SPARE WHEEL LOCATION
The spare wheel and jacking equipment
are stored under the luggage
compartment floor panel.
To remove the spare wheel, fold the
luggage compartment floor panel towards
the rear seats. Remove the tray
containing the jacking equipment to gain
access to the wheel. Unscrew the
retaining nut and remove the spare wheel.
Remove the jack and wheel nut wrench.
