6. Offer the jack up to the mounting
point nearest to the wheel that is to
be removed with the base of the
jack vertically beneath the mount-
ing point and with its entire surface
in contact with the ground; when
the jack is raised by turning the
handle, its head must enter the rec-
tangular recess in the mounting
point, see detail in next picture
7. Continue to turn the crank handle
until the wheel you wish to change
is lifted clear of the ground
8. Take out the wheel studs and
remove the wheel
9. Remove heavy dirt deposits from
the wheel and hub contact faces
and clean the wheel studs
10. Fit the spare wheel or compact
spare wheel, insert at least two
screws on opposite sides of the
hub and screw them in
11. Insert and screw in the remaining
wheel studs, then tighten them all,
working across the hub rather than
round it
12. Lower the car and remove the jack
13. Firmly tighten the studs alternately
on opposite sides of the hub
14. Full-width wheel covers*: place the
cover in position so that the valve
cutout is aligned with the tyre
valve, then press the cover onto
the wheel with both hands
15. Correct the tyre pressure at the
earliest opportunity.
Cars with Runflat Indicator: after
fitting the spare wheel or correcting
any tyre pressure, reinitialise the
system; see page
84 .
Prevent dirt from entering the tyre
valves by attaching screw-on dust
caps. Dirt in the tyre valve can often
lead to a gradual loss of pressure.
Do not attach the full-width wheel
cover to the compact spare
wheel, otherwise it could be dam-
aged.
