Removing a wheel
Wheel changes must always be performed cor-
rectly. Instructions on how a wheel is undone
and what is important to remember are provided
below.
IMPORTANT
•
When the jack
*
is not in use it must be
stored in its storage space under the
cargo area floor.
•
The jack included with the car is only
designed for occasional, short-term use,
such as when changing a wheel after a
puncture. Only the jack belonging to the
specific model is to be used to jack up
the car. If the car is to be jacked up more
often, or for a longer time than is required
just to change a wheel, use of a garage
jack is recommended. In this instance,
follow the instructions for use that come
with the equipment.
WARNING
•
Apply the parking brake and set the gear
selector in Park position (
P ).
•
Chock the wheels standing on the ground
using solid wood blocks or large stones.
•
Check that the jack is not damaged, that
the threads are thoroughly lubricated and
that it is free from dirt.
•
Check that the jack is resting on a firm,
level surface that is not slippery and is
not slanted.
•
The jack must be correctly attached in
the jack's bracket.
•
Never position anything between the
ground and the jack, nor between the
jack and the car's jacking point.
•
Passengers must leave the car when it is
raised on the jack.
•
If a wheel must be changed in a traf-
ficked environment, passengers must
stand in a safe place.
•
Use a jack designed for the car when
changing tyres. Use supports to secure
the car for all other work.
•
Never crawl under the car or reach under
with a part of your body when it is raised
on a jack.
1. Set up the warning triangle and activate the
hazard warning lights if a tyre is being
changed in a trafficked location.
2. Apply the parking brake and engage gear
position P , or engage first gear if the car has
a manual gearbox.
Applies to cars with Leveling Control
*
: If
the car is equipped with air suspension, this
must be disabled before the car is raised
with a jack

.
3. Take out the jack
