Wheel Changing
CHANGING THE WHEEL
Using the wheel chocks
If possible, choose a safe place to stop away
from the main thoroughfare. Always ask your
passengers to get out of the vehicle and wait in
a safe area away from other traffic.
1
NOTE: Switch on the hazard warning lights to
alert other road users.
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front
wheels are in the straight ahead position, apply
the handbrake and engage 1st gear in the main
gearbox (select ‘P’ for automatic transmission)
and select ‘L’ in the transfer box.

Turn off the starter switch and remove the key.
Observe the following precautions:
•
Ensure the jack is positioned on firm, level
ground; NEVER on soft ground, or over
metal gratings or manhole covers. DO NOT
place additional material between the jack
and the ground, this may jeopardise the
safety of the jacking operation.

•
•
Place chocks at the front and rear of the
wheel diagonally opposite the one to be
removed.
NEVER raise the vehicle with passengers
inside, or with a caravan or trailer
connected!
H3098
If possible, position the vehicle on level ground,
chocking both sides of the wheel diagonally
opposite the one to be removed.
WARNING
Before raising the vehicle, it is ESSENTIAL to
chock the road wheels in two places; the
handbrake acts on the transmission, not on
the rear wheels, and therefore may not hold
the vehicle when raised.
If jacking the vehicle on a slope is unavoidable,
place the chocks on the downhill side of the two
opposite wheels.
The wheel chocks are stowed with the jack
handle and wheel nut spanner in the tool bag.
Assemble the wheel chocks as follows:
1.
2.
3.
Pull the two halves of the chock apart.
Twist one half of the chock 180°.
Push the two halves back together.
