head of the jack engages with the shaped notch
on the underside of the front or rear suspension
links - either just forward of the rear wheels or
just to the rear of the front wheels.
WARNING
WARNING
When fitting a wheel, ensure that the mating
faces of the hub and wheel are clean and free
from rust or anti-seize compound - any
accumulation of dirt or rust could cause the
wheel nuts to become loose and result in an
accident.
ALWAYS use the complete, two-piece, jack
lever throughout to minimise any chance of
accidental damage or injury.
ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack location
points described, or damage to the vehicle
could occur.
7. Ensure that the space under and around
the vehicle is free from obstructions then
lower the vehicle and remove the jack and
wheel chocks.

Use the wheel nut wrench to slacken the
wheel nuts half a turn anti-clockwise.
Raise the vehicle until the tyre is clear of
the ground.
Remove the wheel nuts and place to one
side to prevent them from being lost.
Remove the road wheel.
8. Fully tighten the wheel nuts in an
alternating pattern until all are tightened.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN by using foot
pressure or extension bars on the wheel
nut wrench, as this could overstress the
wheel studs. Check the wheel nut torque at
the earliest opportunity (see ‘WHEELS &
TYRES’, page 203).
NOTE: DO NOT damage the surface of the
wheel by placing it face down on the road.
On alloy wheels, use an approved
anti-seize compound to treat the wheel
mounting spigot. This will minimise any
tendency for adhesion between the wheel
and the spigot.
Ensure that no compound comes into
contact with the brake components or the
flat mounting surfaces of the wheel.

Return tools, chocks, jack and spare wheel
in their correct storage positions.
REMEMBER to change to ‘H’ (high range)
before driving.
Finally, check the tyre pressure at the
earliest opportunity (see ‘WHEELS &
TYRES’, page 203).
5.
If, due to an emergency situation, this
treatment is not practicable; refit the spare
wheel for the time being, but remove and
treat the wheel at the earliest opportunity.
