WARNING
To prevent personal injury, before jacking
the vehicle the air suspension system must
be’frozen’- this will prevent the suspension
from self-levelling or the ride height from
changing while the vehicle is supported by
the wheel changing jack.
To freeze the suspension:
1.Before freezing the suspension, ensure
that either Standard or High ride height are
engaged - this will provide sufficient space
beneath the vehicle to locate and operate
the jack.
2.Open the tailgate
3.Switch...

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...

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...

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...

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

155 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...

Fuses
156 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...
