On alloy wheels, lightly oil or grease
(using an approved anti-seize compound)
the wheel-mounting spigot to minimise
the tendency for adhesion between the
wheel and the spigot. Ensure that no oil or
compound comes into contact with the
brake components. If, due to an
emergency situation, this treatment is not
practicable; refit the spare wheel for the
time being, but remove and treat the wheel
at the earliest opportunity.

Fit the spare wheel and lightly tighten the
wheel nuts,...

The locking wheel nut and cover can only be
removed using the special tools provided, as
follows:
·
Push the extractor tool (1) firmly over the
stainless steel nut cover (2).

Drain holes
Manual gearbox models are provided with
drain holes at the lowest point of the flywheel
housing (between engine and gearbox). In
addition, 300 Tdi models also have a drain
hole at the bottom of the engine timing cover.
These drain holes enable excess oil to drain
from the vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of
inadvertent damage to the clutch or camshaft
drive belt.
If the vehicle is to be...

vehicle unless it is safely parked with the
wheels chocked, or is supported by heavy
duty stands.

Fuses are simple circuit breakers which
protect electrical equipment by preventing the
electrical circuits from being overloaded. A
blown fuse is indicated when the electrical
equipment it protects becomes inoperative.
Check a suspect fuse by removing it from the
fuse box and looking for a break in the wire
inside the fuse (see inset).
The main fusebox is fitted below and to one
side of the steering column; remove the cover
by releasing the fixing screws using a coin or
