NOTE
●
Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body near the jack.
This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.

(refer to “Wheel covers” on page 6-33). Then loosen the
wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the
wheel nuts yet.
8. Find the closest jacking point to the flat tyre (refer to
“Jacking up the vehicle” on page 6-21). Then position the
jack and raise the vehicle until the tyre is slightly off the
ground.
9. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench, then
take the wheel off.
CAUTION
!
●
Handle the wheel carefully when changing the tyre,
to avoid scratching the wheel surface.
