Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode.
Switch off the ignition.
With a manual gearbox, engage first
gear to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the
lever in position R to block the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the
lever in position P to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp in the parking
brake control come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
F Position the foot of the jack 8 on the
ground and ensure that it is directly below
one of the front A or rear B jacking points
provided on the underbody, whichever is
closest to the wheel to be changed.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel, first
remove the wheel trim using the
wheelbrace 6 by pulling at the valve
cut-out.
When refitting the wheel, refit the
wheel trim by placing its cut-out at the
valve, and press round its edge with the
palm of your hand.
