Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear* to lock
the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
It is imperative that you ensure that the
occupants get out of the vehicle and
wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
