WHEEL CHANGING SAFETY
Before raising the vehicle, or changing a wheel
make sure that you read, and comply with the
following warnings.
Always find a safe place to stop, off the
highway and away from traffic.
Make sure that the vehicle and jack are
both on firm level ground.
Apply the parking brake, and engage
Park (P).
Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
Make sure that the front wheels are in
the straight ahead position, and
engage the steering lock.
Make sure that all passengers, and
animals, are out of the vehicle and in
a safe place away from the highway.
Place a warning triangle at a suitable
distance behind the vehicle, facing
towards oncoming traffic.
When one rear wheel is lifted off the
ground the selection P (Park) position
will not prevent the vehicle from
moving and possibly slipping off the
jack as the park brake only operates
on the rear wheels. Use the wheel
chock when jacking the vehicle.
Always chock the wheel diagonally
opposite the wheel to be changed,
using the wheel chock supplied in the
tool kit. Chock the front of a front
wheel, or the rear of a rear wheel.
If jacking the vehicle on a slight slope
is unavoidable, place chocks on the
downhill side of the two opposite
wheels. An additional chock will be
needed.
Never place anything between the jack
and the ground, or the jack and the
vehicle.
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle
unless the jack head is fully engaged
in the jacking point. Only jack the
vehicle using the approved jacking
points.
Remove the spare wheel prior to
jacking the vehicle, to avoid
destabilising the vehicle when raised.
Take care when lifting the spare wheel,
and removing the punctured wheel.
The wheels are heavy, and can cause
injuries if not handled correctly.
Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is supported only by a jack.
WARNING - THAT NO PERSON SHOULD
PLACE ANY PORTION OF THEIR BODY
UNDER A VEHICLE THAT IS
SUPPORTED BY A JACK.
Take care when loosening the wheel
nuts. The wheel brace may slip off if
not properly attached, and the wheel
nuts may release suddenly. Either
unexpected movement may cause an
injury.
After use, the tool kit should be
returned to the under floor storage area
and correctly stowed.
Always make sure replacement tyres
have the correct rating and
specifications (e.g. load index, size,
speed rating) for your vehicle.
