* mode P for an automatic gearbox.
List of operations
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear* to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps
in the instrument panel are on (not
flashing).
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
F Remove the bolt cover from each of
the bolts using the tool 7 (according to
equipment).
F Fit the security socket 2 on the
wheelbrace 5 to slacken the security bolt.
F Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 5 only.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first
remove the wheel trim by pulling at the
valve aperture using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel, after
tightening the wheel bolts, refit the
wheel trim, starting by placing its
aperture in line with the valve and then
pushing it into place all round its edge
with the palm of your hand.
