Wheel Changing
Care of the jack
Using wheel chocks
Examine the jack occasionally, clean and grease
the moving parts, particularly the screw thread,
to prevent corrosion. To avoid contamination,
the jack should always be stowed in its fully
closed position.
WARNING
Before raising the vehicle, as an additional
safety precaution, it is advisable to chock the
road wheels in two places.
WHEEL CHANGING
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.
NOTE: Switch on the hazard warning lights and
set the hazard warning triangle*, a suitable
distance behind the vehicle, to alert other road
users.
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front
wheels are in the straight ahead position (if
possible), apply the parking brake, select ‘P’
(Park) and select LOW range in the transfer
box.

If possible, position the vehicle on level ground,
chocking both sides of the wheel diagonally
opposite the one to be removed.
Turn off the starter switch, remove the key and
engage the steering lock. Observe the following
precautions:
•
Ensure the jack will be 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.
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 in the spare wheel
well, where shown in‘TOOL KIT’, page 234.

If jacking the vehicle on a slope is
unavoidable, place the chocks on the

NEVER raise the vehicle with passengers
inside, or with a caravan or trailer
connected!
