Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it
does not block traf fi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-
slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off
the ignition and engage fi rst gear *
to lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
You should ensure that the occu-
pants get out of the vehicle and
wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
Removing the wheel List of operations
) Remove the chromed bolt cover from
each of the bolts using the tool 3 .
) If your vehicle is equipped with
this, fi t the security socket 4 on the
wheelbrace 1 to slacken the security
bolt.
) Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1 only.
) Place the jack 2 in contact with one
of the two front A or rear B locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.

is in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centreline of the jack base
plate is directly below the location A

fi cient space between the wheel and
the ground to admit the spare (not
punctured) wheel easily.
