Wheel changing procedure
!
WARNING:
• Before attempting to lift the vehicle
with the jack, chock the wheel
diagonally opposite to the wheel
being replaced to prevent the
vehicle from rolling when jacked
up. A wheel chock is supplied with
the jacking equipment for this
purpose.
• Never work under the vehicle using
only the jack as a support, always
use axle stands or suitable
supports under the jacking points.
Note: When one rear wheel is lifted off the
ground the selection P (Park) position will
not prevent the vehicle from moving and
possibly slipping off the jack as the
parkbrake only operates on the rear
wheels.
1. Ensure that all passengers are in a
safe place, clear of the vehicle.
2. Apply the parkbrake and select gear
position P (Park).
3. Ensure that the jack is placed on firm
and level ground.
Observe the instructions printed on the
jack.
Use the jack only for lifting the vehicle
during wheel changing and only use the
jack which is stored in the vehicle.
Before raising the vehicle slacken but do
not remove the wheel nuts.
Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is supported only by a jack.
There are four jacking points on the
underside of the floor. Two indented,
triangular indicators are provided on each
sill cover. These indicate the location for
the jack.
The simplest way to correctly locate the
jacking point is to feel along the sill panel
to the triangular indentation and then fit
the jack to the body, not to the sill panel.
