Removing and storing the spare tyre
Operation
-
Open spare wheel & tyre cover on the luggage board, take spare wheel & tyre out of cover.
-
Store the tyre in the reverse order of removal. To prevent the spare tyre and tools from “rattling” whilst the vehicle is in motion, store them properly.
-
Be cautious as the minimum ground clearance gets lower when you store the original tyre in the bottom of the vehicle after replacing it with a spare tyre. In particular, drive below 30 km/h (18 mph) when driving over a speed bump and on uphill/downhill/uneven road.
-
Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public road or highway.
-
Always move the vehicle completely off the road and onto the shoulder before trying to change a tyre. The jack should be used on firm level ground. If you cannot find a firm level place off the road, call a towing service company for assistance.
-
Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking positions on the vehicle; never use the bumpers or any other part of the vehicle for jacking support.
-
The vehicle can roll off the jack causing serious injury or death.
-
Do not get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.
-
Do not start or run the vehicle whilst it is still on the jack.
-
Do not allow anyone remain in the vehicle whilst it is on the jack.
-
Make sure any children present are in a secure place away from the road and from the vehicle to be raised with the jack.
