Removing the wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffi c: the ground must be level, stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst gear * to lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.
