Removing the spare wheel
Fully open the tailgate and hinge the rear
portion of the parcel shelf forward.
Unlatch and raise the loadspace floor panel
and then secure the panel in a raised position
by engaging the stay (as shown).
Using the wheel brace, remove the spare
wheel retaining nut. Pull the loop of the
webbing rearward; the wheel will be raised up
and lifted onto the rear tailgate.
WARNING
The wheels are extremely heavy. Take care
when lifting and particularly when removing
the spare wheel from the loadspace.

Operating the jack
Slot the two parts of the jack lever together,
ensuring that the spring clip protrudes from
the engagement slot where the two parts join
(see inset A). Close the jack release valve by
using the notched end of the jack lever to turn
the valve fully clockwise (see inset B). Insert
the lever into the socket as shown (inset C)
and twist the lever to lock it into the socket.
Pump the lever up and down to raise the jack.
To lower the jack, withdraw the lever and slot
the notched end over the pegs on the release
valve. Slowly turn the release valve
anti-clockwise, allowing the weight of the
vehicle to lower the jack.
WARNING
·Ensure the jack is positioned on firm,
level ground.
·DO NOT use the jack to raise the vehicle
until you have carefully read and
understood Positioning the jack later in
this section. If in doubt, consult your
dealer.
·Care must be taken to avoid accidental
contact with any underbody parts,
especially the hot exhaust system
components, likely to cause personal
injury during raising or lowering of the
vehicle.
·Ensure that the space under and around
the vehicle is free from obstruction as it
is lowered. 
						

							Wheel changing

Positioning the jack
Before positioning the jack, ensure that the air
suspension system is frozen (key removed
from starter switch, hazard lights switched on,
and tailgate open). If the vehicle had
previously settled to Low ride height (or
Access), it will be necessary to improve
access beneath the vehicle by starting the
engine and raising the vehicle to Standard or
High ride height before positioning the jack.
Always position the jack from the front or rear
of the vehicle directly in line with the jacking
points.
WARNING
·NEVER use the jack from the side of the
vehicle.
·ALWAYS use the complete, two piece,
jacking lever throughout to minimise any
accidental contact with a hot exhaust
system.
·ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack
location points described or damage to
the vehicle could occur.Rear jacking point:
Push the mud flap (if fitted) up over the tyre
to allow clear access. Position the jack so that,
when raised, it engages with the rear axle
casing immediately below the air spring and
as close as possible to the shock absorber
mounting bracket (see illustration).
Front jacking point:
Position the jack so that, when raised, it will
engage with the front axle casing immediately
below the air spring (see illustration). The
cradle of the jack must locate between the end
of the axle and the point where the radius arm
attaches to the axle (see illustration).

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
152
·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 (seeGeneral 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.

153 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
154 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.
