Wheel changing 156 Changing a wheel Before raising the vehicle, ensure that all the precautions listed at the beginning of this section have been observed. Also, ensure that the wheel chocks are correctly positioned (as described previously) and that the air suspension system is frozen at Standard or High ride height. WARNING To prevent any accidental change in the ride height or automatic levelling of the suspension, the air suspension system must remain inhibited during the WHOLE wheel changing process - to achieve this, ALWAYS remove the key from the starter switch and ensure that the tailgate remains open and the hazard lights are operating throughout. ·Use the wheel brace to slacken the wheel nuts half a turn anti-clockwise (see Locking wheel nuts). ·Raise the vehicle until the tyre is clear of the ground and remove the wheel nuts and wheel (DO NOT damage the surface of alloy wheels by placing them face down on the road). ·Use an approved anti-seize compound to treat 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, ensuring they are firmly seated. DO NOT fully tighten whilst the tyre is clear of the ground. WARNING When fitting a wheel, ensure that the mating faces of the hub and wheel are clean and free from rust - an accumulation of dirt or rust could cause the wheel nuts to become loose and result in an accident.
Wheel changing 157 ·Lower the vehicle and remove the jack and wheel chocks. ·Fully tighten the wheel nuts and replace the locking wheel nut cover. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN by using foot pressure or extension bars on the wheel brace. Check the wheel nut torque at the earliest opportunity (see General data). ·REMEMBER to change to H (high range) before driving. ·Finally, check the tyre pressure (see General data). Care of the jack Examine the jack occasionally; clean and grease the moving parts, particularly the ram, to prevent corrosion. To avoid contamination, the jack should always be stowed in its fully closed position. Wheel centre cap After fitting the spare wheel, it will be necessary to remove the centre cap from the replaced road wheel in order to stow the wheel in the spare wheel compartment. Using a suitable blunt implement (the handle of a large screwdriver, for example) apply light pressure to the rear of the cap. Use hand pressure only to replace the cap.Replacing the spare wheel Preferably clean and dry the wheel before stowing it in the vehicle. Lay the webbing flat across the lower tailgate and place the wheel face down with the rear edge of the tyre in line with the mark on the webbing. Grasp the webbing loop, raise the wheel from the tailgate, and lower into position, then fit and tighten the wheel securing nut. WARNING After wheel changing always secure tools, chocks, jack and spare wheel in their correct storage positions.
Wheel changing 158 LOCKING WHEEL NUTS In some markets, vehicles are equipped with a locking wheel nut on each wheel (excluding the spare). The locking wheel nut covers are visually very similar to standard wheel nuts but can be identified by a concave indent on the surface. 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). ·Pull the extractor toolsquarelyaway from the wheel to remove the nut cover and reveal the locking wheel nut (3). ·Fit the metal key socket (4) securely over the locking wheel nut (3). ·Fit the wheel nut wrench onto the key socket and unscrew the nut in the normal way. A code letter is stamped on the face of the key socket. Ensure the code letter is entered in the space provided on your Security Information card - you will need to quote this letter if replacement components are required. Keep the card in a safe place away from the vehicle. For security reasons, store the key socket and extractor tool in the glovebox and keep the glovebox locked. NOTE:If the extractor tool has been inadvertently pushed onto a standard wheel nut, it can be removed ONLY by first undoing and removing the nut; slide the wheel nut wrench down the centre of the extractor and onto the wheel nut.
Fuses 159 Fuses are simple circuit breakers which protect electrical equipment by preventing the electrical circuits from being overloaded. Always remove the starter key and switch off the affected circuit before removing a fuse. Press the fuse removal tweezers (located in the engine compartment fuse box) onto the head of the fuse and pull to remove. Fit a new fuse of the same rating. If the replacement fuse fails immediately, contact a qualified dealer and have the circuit checked. Fuses are colour-coded to help identify their amperage, as follows: VIOLET 3 TAN 5 BROWN 7.5 RED 10 BLUE 15 YELLOW 20 WHITE 25 GREEN 30 WARNING Fit only replacement fuses of the same rating and type. Always rectify the cause of a failure before replacing a fuse. Seek qualified assistance if necessary. RIGHT HAND SEAT FUSE BOX The failure of fuses 2 to 22 inclusive is reported by the vehicle message centre. Fuses 1 to 22 inclusive are located behind a cover on the side of the right hand seat. Lift the catch (arrowed) to disengage the cover. A label on the rear of the cover identifies the fuses and their ratings. The following list supports the information on the cover. NOTE:The applicability of fuses will vary from model to model, depending on the features fitted to the vehicle.

Fuses 161 ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX WARNING Batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas; ensure that sparks and naked lights are kept away from the engine compartment. Fuses 23 to 44 inclusive, listed on the following page, are located in the engine compartment fuse box. Press each of the four latches in the direction of the arrows (moulded into the lid) and pivot the lid upward to disengage the three side location posts. A label on the underside of the cover identifies the fuses and their ratings. The following list supports the information on the cover.A fuse puller (red tweezers) is provided for extracting the fuses. To remove a fuse, press the fuse puller on to the head of a fuse and pull. Refit the cover by engaging the three side posts in the slots in the fuse box. Close the cover and then push the four side catches away from the fuse box until they can be heard to snap into position.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Before replacing a bulb, always switch off the starter switch and appropriate lighting switch to prevent any possibility of causing a short circuit. Only use new bulbs of the same type and with the same specification. Halogen bulbs Halogen bulbs are used for dipped/main, supplementary main beam and front fog lights. Take care NOT to touch this type of bulb with your fingers; always use a cloth to handle them. If necessary, clean the bulb with methylated spirits to remove fingerprints.
Bulb replacement 164 Front sidelights Detach the plug from the rear of the bulb, twist the bulb holder (arrowed) to release, then pull to remove bulb.Front direction indicators For right hand indicator: remove the battery cover. For both indicators: press the plastic lever (arrowed in top picture) to release the light unit from the front of the vehicle. Hold the light unit and rotate the bulb holder (see lower picture), then pull bulb holder to remove. Press and twist bulb to remove. Refitting the lens is a reversal of this procedure. However, ensure the light unit is correctly located into the front wing and ensure that the plastic lever is securely engaged before driving.
Bulb replacement 165 Dipped and main beam To gain access to the right hand headlight, first remove the battery cover. Detach the multi-plug and remove the rubber cover (the rubber cover has four tabs which will assist removal and refitting). Unhook the spring clip and withdraw the bulb.Replace the bulb (the larger of the three tabs uppermost) and spring clip. Fit the rubber cover, ensuring that the three connectors pass through the slots in the cover, then refit the multi-plug. Inboard main beam Detach the plastic cover from rear of unit, then unhook the spring clip and withdraw the bulb and connector. Pull bulb to remove.
