Not all Alhambra models have the TMS (Tyre
Mobility System).
If a tyre needs to be changed the tools nec-
essary are available at spare parts dealers:
●
Jack,
●
box spanner for wheel bolts,
●
tool to remove wheel bolt caps
The tyres mounted on the vehicle are anti-
puncture. The wheels should only be
changed when switching from summer to
winter tyres or vice-versa. See
›››
page 344
The vehicle only comes with the necessary
tools for changing wheels if factory supplied
with winter tyres. If this is not the case, you
need to go to a specialised workshop to get
the wheels changed.
You should only change the wheels yourself if
the vehicle is parked in a safe place, you are
familiar with the procedure and safety stand-
ards and you have all the necessary tools!
Otherwise, you should seek professional as-
sistance.
WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, es-
pecially on the hard shoulder
. Please ob-
serve the following rules to minimise the
risk of injury:
●
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possi-
ble. Park at a safe distance from surround-
ing traffic to change a wheel.
●
When changing a wheel, keep all pas-
sengers, and particularly children, a safe
distance away from the work area.
●
Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road users.
●
Ensure the ground on which you park is
flat and solid. If necessary, support the
jack on a wide solid base.
●
If you are changing a wheel yourself, you
should be familiar with the required proce-
dure. Otherwise, you should seek profes-
sional assistance.
●
Only use suit
able tools that are not dam-
aged when changing a wheel.
●
Always stop the engine, turn on the elec-
tronic parking brake and place the gear se-
lector lever in position P, for an automatic
gearbox, or engage a gear for a manual
gearbox to reduce the risk of the vehicle
moving accidentally.
●
Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts checked as soon as possible with a
reliable torque wrench.
WARNING
If the wheel trims are not appropriate or not
fitted correctly, they coul
d cause major
accidents or damage.
●
Incorrectly mounted wheel trims may
come off while driving and endanger other
road users.
●
Damaged trims must never be mounted
on the wheels.
●
Always ensure that the brake ventilation
and cooling is not cut off or blocked. This is
also valid if hubcaps are fitted later. If there
is not enough air, you may require signifi-
cantly longer braking distances.
CAUTION
Remove and remount wheel trims taking
care to av
oid damage to the vehicle.
