Wheel changing
WARNING
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, before jacking
the vehicle the air suspension system must
be ’frozen’ - this will prevent the suspension
from self-levelling or the ride height from
changing while the vehicle is supported by
the wheel changing jack.
Before raising the vehicle, it is ESSENTIAL
to chock one of the road wheels; the
handbrake acts on the transmission, not on
the rear wheels, and therefore may not hold
the vehicle when raised.
Always chock the front and back of the wheel
diagonallyopposite the one to be removed.
To freeze the suspension:
1.
Before freezing the suspension, ensure
that either Standard or High ride height are
engaged - this will provide sufficient space
beneath the vehicle to locate and operate
the jack.
The wheel chocks are stowed with the jack,
jacklever, wheel brace and steel spare wheel
beneath the loadspace floor.
