In the event of a breakdown
Removing a wheel
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve
aperture using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel, after tightening
the wheel bolts, refit the wheel trim,
starting by placing its aperture in line with
the valve and then pushing it into place all
round its edge with the palm of your hand.
* position P for the automatic gearbox
F Insert the centering guide into the wheel
hub.
F Place the wheel/box unit beneath the rear of
the vehicle.
F Replace the wheel/box unit beneath the
vehicle by "loosening" the winch control nut
with wheelbrace 5 and extension piece 8.
F Tighten it fully. When the cable is
completely reeled in, turning the screw no
longer encounters resistance.
F Check that the wheel is properly flattened
against the floor.
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
Pull up the parking brake, unless it is
programmed in automatic mode; switch
off the ignition and put the vehicle into first
gear * so as to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps in
the instrument panel are on (not flashing).
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
