Wheel changing WHEEL CHANGING SAFETY
Before raising the vehicle, or changing a wheel
ensure that you read, and comply with the
following warnings. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury or death.
Always find a safe place to stop, off the
highway and away from traffic.
Always switch on the hazard warning lamps
to alert all traffic of the obstruction.
Apply the parking brake, and engage Park
(P). Turn the engine off and remove the Smart
Key from the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in unexpected movement of the vehicle
causing serious injury or death.
Ensure that all passengers, and animals, are
out of the vehicle and in a safe place away
from the highway.
Always place a warning triangle at a suitable
distance behind the vehicle, facing towards
oncoming traffic.
Ensure that the vehicle and jack are both on
firm level ground. Do not jack the vehicle if it
is over a metal grating or manhole cover.
Ensure that the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position, and engage the
steering lock.
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.
Remove the spare wheel prior to jacking the
vehicle, to avoid destabilizing the vehicle
when raised.
Never place anything between the jack and
the ground, or between 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.
Always position the jack from the side of the
vehicle, in line with the appropriate jacking
point.
Always use the complete jacking lever
assembly throughout, to minimize any
chance of accidental injury.
