TOOL KIT
On seven-seater vehicles, the wheel change 
tool kit is stowed behind an access cover in the 
rear loadspace area.On five-seater vehicles, the tool tray is located 
under a lift-up panel set in the loadspace floor.
Note: Take careful note of the stowage position 
of each of the tools as it is important to return 
them to their correct position after use.

Care of the jack
Examine the jack occasionally, clean and grease 
the moving parts, particularly the screw thread, 
to prevent corrosion.
To avoid contamination, the jack should always 
be stowed in its fully closed position.
WARNING
After wheel changing, always secure tools, 
chocks, jack and replaced wheel in their 
correct storage positions. Such objects if not 
properly stowed can become flying missiles 
in a crash or rollover, potentially causing 
injury or death.
PUNCTURED TIRES
If you have a flat tire while driving:
•Do not brake heavily.
•Gradually decrease the vehicle’s speed.
•Hold the steering wheel firmly.
•Slowly move to a safe and suitable place at 
the side of the road.
Wheel Changing Safety
If possible, choose a safe place to stop away 
from the main road. Always ask your 
passengers to get out of the vehicle and wait in 
a safe area away from other traffic.
Note: Switch on the hazard warning lights to 
alert other road users.
Before changing a wheel, ensure that 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. Raise 
the air suspension to the off-road position.
Turn off the starter switch, remove the key and 
engage the steering lock. Observe the following 
precautions:
•Ensure that 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 the wheel(s), see Using wheel 
chocks, 295.
•NEVER raise the vehicle with passengers 
inside, or with a caravan or trailer 
connected!

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 you wish to have the doors locked while 
jacking up the vehicle, for any reason, lock the 
doors by pressing the lock button on the 
remote handset twice within three seconds.
Using wheel chocks
WARNING
Before raising the vehicle, it is ESSENTIAL to 
chock the road wheels in two places: the 
parkbrake acts on the transmission, not on 
the rear wheels, and therefore may not hold 
the vehicle when raised.
If possible, position the vehicle on level ground, 
chocking 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.
The wheel chocks are stowed in the toolkit, as 
shown in TOOL KIT, 293.

REMOVING THE SPARE WHEEL
Spare wheel
Always remove the spare wheel before jacking 
up the vehicle.
WARNING
The wheels are extremely heavy. Take care 
when manoeuvring the spare wheel.
Note: Before removing the spare wheel from 
the vehicle, take a look at the position that the 
spare wheel is stowed in, as you will need to 
check that the wheel about to be removed from 
the vehicle is returned to the correct storage 
position.
Spare wheel access - five-seat vehicleSpare wheel access - seven-seat vehicle
With the tailgate open:
1.Lift open the spare wheel mechanism 
access hatch in the rear loadspace.
On 5-seat vehicles, remove the jack from 
the tool tray.
2.Tilt up the circular locking cap covering the 
spare-wheel storage nut.

3.Fit the wheel nut brace to the wheel-hoist 
winch nut and rotate anticlockwise to lower 
the spare wheel.
Caution: The mechanism has been designed 
for use with the wheel nut brace. DO NOT 
use power tools on the wheel-hoist 
winch.
When the wheel has reached the ground, 
continue to wind the handle until the cable 
is slack.
Do not attempt to turn the winch beyond 
the physical stop.
Note: In 7-seat vehicles, the wheel-hoist nut is 
quite close to the back of the rear seats when 
they are in the upright position.
To cater for this, fit the wheel nut brace to the 
wheel-hoist nut, turn it as far as possible in the 
desired direction and then flip the handle over 
the top of the nut to the other side and continue 
to turn it.
4.Hold the cable and tilt the lifting lug until it 
can be lifted through the hole in the wheel, 
as shown above.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Positioning the jack - right-hand side
Note: Before positioning the jack under the 
vehicle, ensure that the air suspension is set to 
Off-road height.
WARNING
NEVER work beneath the vehicle with the jack 
as the only means of support. The jack is 
designed for wheel changing only.
Always remove the spare wheel before 
jacking up the vehicle.
WARNING
ALWAYS:
•Place the jack on firm level ground.
•Position the jack from the side of the 
vehicle, in line with the appropriate 
jacking point.
•Raise the jack so that the pin in the head 
of the jack engages with a hole in the 
chassis rail at the points shown in the 
illustrations.

Positioning the jack - left-hand side
WARNING
ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack location 
points described, or damage to the vehicle 
could occur.
Always position the jack from the side of the 
vehicle, approximately in line with the 
appropriate jacking point. Ensure the jack is 
positioned on firm, level ground.
WARNING
ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack location 
points described, or damage to the vehicle 
may occur.

Operating the jack
Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel nut 
brace to slacken the wheel nuts half a turn 
anticlockwise.
Attach the jack cranking lever to the jack. Fit the 
wheel nut brace onto the end of the cranking 
lever.Turn the jack lever clockwise to raise the jack 
cradle until it engages with the jacking point. 
Ensure that the base of the jack is in full contact 
with the road surface.
Changing a wheel
Always remove the spare wheel before jacking 
up the vehicle.
1.Raise the vehicle until the tire is clear of the 
ground.
2.Remove the wheel nuts and place to one 
side to prevent them from being lost.
3.Remove the road wheel.
Note: DO NOT damage the style surface of 
the wheel by placing it face down on the 
road.
4.On alloy wheels, use an approved anti-seize 
compound to treat the wheel mounting 
bore. This will minimise any tendency for 
adhesion between the wheel and the bore.
Ensure that no compound comes into 
contact with the brake components or the 
flat mounting surfaces of the wheel.
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.
5.Fit the spare wheel with the valve stem 
outwards and lightly tighten the wheel 
nuts, ensuring they are firmly seated. DO 
NOT fully tighten whilst the tire is clear of 
the ground. See Directional tires*, 273.
WARNING
When fitting a wheel, ensure that the mating 
faces of the hub and wheel are clean and free 
from rust or anti-seize compound - any 
accumulation of dirt or rust could cause the 
wheel nuts to become loose.
