Fig. 1 Folding out the wheel chocks
Some preparations are necessary before changing a wheel.
If you have a flat tyre, stop the car well away from moving traffic. Choose a location that is as level as possible.
All passengers should leave the car. They should wait in a safe place (for instance behind the roadside crash barrier).
Apply the parking brake to stop the vehicle moving accidentally.
Engage first gear (manual gearbox) or move selector lever to position P (automatic gearbox).
If you are towing a trailer, unhitch it from your vehicle.
Take the tools Link and the collapsible spare wheel* Link out of the luggage compartment.
Use the wheel chocks Fig. 1 to block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed.
WARNING!
If you have a puncture in moving traffic, switch on the hazard warning lights and place the warning triangle in a visible location. This is for your own safety and also warns other road users.
Caution!
If you have to change the tyre on a gradient, use the collapsible wheel chocks or other suitable objects to block the wheel opposite the wheel being changed, to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.
