Removing and refitting the Wheel and Tyre

assembly

Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel brace to

slacken the wheel nuts ½ a turn anti-clockwise.

Ensure the jack is placed as far inboard as possible

when jacking the front of vehicle on lower wishbone.

Attach the jack handle to the jack and turn clockwise

until the tyre is just clear of the ground. (Do not allow

the jack to tilt on its base).

Remove all the wheel nuts and the wheel. (Do not

place the wheel face down on the ground as this may

cause scratching to the surface of the wheel).

Replace the wheel and wheel nuts (tapered end

towards the wheel) and tighten the nuts until the wheel

is seated firmly against the hub.

Lower the car by turning the jack handle anti-clockwise

then remove the jack from under the car. Finally fully

tighten the wheel nuts in a diagonal sequence.

WARNING!

 Always check the tyre pressures before driving

off or as soon afterwards as possible.

 Whenever refitting the wheel nuts it is imperative

that they are tightened to the correct torque.

Check wheel nut torque as soon as possible.

WARNING!

Always observe the following precautions!

 Choose a safe place to stop, away from the main

thoroughfare, and ensure your passenger gets

out of the car and waits in a safe area, away from

other traffic.

 Switch on the hazard warning lights to alert other

road users. Apply the handbrake and engage 1st

gear.

 Ensure the jack is positioned on firm, level

ground. Do not position the jack on metal

gratings or manhole covers, or use additional

material between the base of the jack and the

ground.

 If jacking on a slope, place chocks at the front

and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the one

to be removed.

 Care must be taken to avoid accidental contact

with any underbody parts, especially the hot

exhaust system components, likely to cause

personal injury during the raising or lowering of

the car.

WARNING!

NEVER jack the car with passengers inside!

NEVER work beneath the car with the jack as the only

means of support. The jack is designed for wheel

changing only!

Cleaning and car care

Washing your car

WARNING!

Take care to avoid contact with a hot exhaust system

when washing the car.

Road dirt, oil, and deposits from birds and trees, can

permanently spoil the paint finish. Wash your car

frequently, using a clean, grit free sponge and

generous quantities of cold or lukewarm water,

containing a car shampoo. Rinse and dry off with a

chamois leather.

 In hot weather, DO NOT wash the car in direct

sunlight – move the car into the shade!

 DO NOT use detergent soap products or

washing up liquid.

During winter months when salt has been used on the

roads, use a hose to wash the underside. Pay

particular attention to wheel arches, panel seams and

to removing accumulations of mud.

When using a hose, do not direct the jet into the heater

air intake ducts, or through the wheels onto the brake

components.
