13.5.3 Changing
a
wheel
The footplate of the vehicle jack must be levelly positioned on the
ground.
The wheel you have replaced should be repaired immediately.
Take note of the general instructions in this chapter.
Park the vehicle on as even and stable a surface as possible.
Go into first gear. In the case of automatic transmission, change gear to
"P" position.
Apply the handbrake.
Place chocks or other appropriate objects beneath the vehicle to secure
it.
Remove the spare wheel from the spare wheel support.
If the ground is soft, place a stable support such as a wooden board be-
neath the vehicle jack.

jack (rear axle)
Position the vehicle jack at the designated attachment points (Fig. 230,1
and Fig. 231,1).
Using the wheel brace, turn the wheel bolts several times to loosen
them, but do not remove them.
Lift the vehicle until the wheel has been lifted 2 to 3 cm above the
ground.
Remove the wheel bolts and take off the wheel.
Place the spare wheel on the wheel hub and adjust.
Screw in the wheel bolts and slightly tighten them cross-wise.
Crank down the vehicle jack and remove it.
Using the wheel brace, tighten the wheel bolts evenly (see sec-
tion 13.5.2 for tightening torque).
13.5.4 Changing a wheel with alloy wheel rims
Alloy wheel rims and steel wheel rims require different wheel bolts.
When alloy wheel rims are mounted, the spare wheel (steel wheel rim)
is accompanied by suitable wheel bolts.
