Continue to crank the jack so that the
baseplate is correctly positioned (it
should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with the jack head).
Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off
the ground.
Changing a wheel
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level sur-
face where it will not slip (if neces-
sary, place a solid support under the
jack base).
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse, or P for auto-
matic transmissions).
Ask all the passengers to leave the
vehicle and keep them away from
traffic.

Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace

to slacken off the
wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able
to push from above.
Crank up jack
2 by hand to position the
jack head against the jacking point clos-
est to the relevant wheel and marked
by an arrow 3 .
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
