WHEEL CHANGING
If possible, choose a safe place to stop away
from the main thoroughfare. Always ask your
passengers to get out of the vehicle and wait in
a safe area away from other traffic.
If you wish to have the doors locked while
jacking up the vehicle, for any reason, lock the
doors by pressing the lock button twice within
10 seconds. If you use the key to lock the
doors, turn the key in the driver’s door lock
towards the rear of the vehicle twice within
10 seconds.
NOTE:
Switch on the hazard warning lights and
set the hazard warning triangle
*
, a suitable
distance behind the vehicle, to alert other road
users.
Using wheel chocks
WARNING
Before raising the vehicle, as an additional
safety precaution, it is advisable to chock the
road wheels in two places.
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front
wheels are in the straight ahead position (if
possible), apply the handbrake, select ‘P’ (Park)
and select LOW range in the transfer box.
Turn off the starter switch, remove the key and
engage the steering lock. Observe the following
precautions:
•
Ensure the jack will be positioned on firm,
level ground; NEVER on soft ground, or over
metal gratings or manhole covers. DO NOT
place additional material between the jack
and the ground, this may jeopardise the
safety of the jacking operation.
•
Chock both sides of the wheel diagonally
opposite the one to be removed.
If jacking the vehicle on a slope is
unavoidable, place the chocks on the
downhill side of the two opposite wheels.
H3823
•
NEVER raise the vehicle with passengers
inside, or with a caravan or trailer
connected!
If possible, position the vehicle on level ground,
chocking both sides of the wheel diagonally
opposite the one to be removed.
Tilt Sensor
Your vehicle is fitted with a tilt sensor which
activates the alarm if the vehicle is tilted fore
and aft, or side to side, after it has been locked.
If jacking the vehicle on a slope is unavoidable,
place the chocks on the downhill side of the two
opposite wheels.
The wheel chocks are stowed in the spare wheel
well, where shown in
‘TOOL KIT’, page 222
.
