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.
WHEEL CHANGING
If possible, choose a safe place to stop away 
from the main thoroughfare. 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 and 
set the hazard warning triangle
*, a suitable 
distance behind the vehicle, to alert other road 
users. 
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front 
wheels are in the straight ahead position (if 
possible), apply the parking brake, select ‘P’ 
(Park) and select LOW range in the transfer 
box. 
Turn off the starter switch, remove the key and 
engage the steering lock. Observe the following 
precautions: 
•Ensure 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 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.
•NEVER raise the vehicle with passengers 
inside, or with a caravan or trailer 
connected!Using wheel chocks
WARNING
Before raising the vehicle, as an additional 
safety precaution, it is advisable to chock the 
road wheels in two places.
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 spare wheel 
well, where shown in‘TOOL KIT’, page 234.

REMOVING THE SPARE WHEEL
WARNING
The wheels are extremely heavy. Take care 
when lifting and particularly when removing 
the spare wheel from the rear loadspace and 
when lifting the replaced wheel back into the 
spare wheel well.To access the spare wheel well, it is necessary 
to fold the rear edge of the loadspace cover 
forward (see ‘LOADSPACE COVER’, page 122, 
for further details.
With the tailgate open:
1.Lift the handle to open the spare wheel 
access hatch.
2.Unclip the support stay from the 
underside of the hatch and slot the end 
into the hole to the side of the spare wheel 
aperture (solid arrow in inset), to keep the 
access hatch open. 
Unhook the wheel changing jack 
restraining strap and remove the jack and 
tailgate hinge-stop. Remove the wheel 
chocks and wheel nut brace (see ‘TOOL 
KIT’, page 234).
3.Loosen the spare wheel retaining bolt 
wingnut, then unscrew the spare wheel 
retaining bolt and remove, then fully close 
the lower tailgate.

4.Attach the spare wheel lifting strap handle 
to the top of the lower tailgate (as inset 4), 
ensuring that the two lugs engage fully 
with the corresponding apertures in the 
top of the tailgate. Once the handle is 
correctly located, the tailgate is 
automatically released. Lower the tailgate; 
the wheel lifting strap automatically raises 
the wheel out of the spare wheel well and 
onto the lower tailgate, therefore 
improving ease of removal.5.Once the wheel has been lifted onto the 
tailgate, attach the hinge-stop, to prevent 
the tailgate from lifting. Remove the spare 
wheel from the loadspace area.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Positioning the jack
WARNING
NEVER work beneath the vehicle with the jack 
as the only means of support. The jack is 
designed for wheel changing only!
To reduce the risk of the vehicle from tipping 
off the jack, ensure that it is first positioned 
on firm, level ground.
Front jacking point
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.
Rear jacking point
WARNING
ALWAYS use the jack handle throughout to 
reduce any chance of accidental damage or 
injury. 
Jack the vehicle using only the jack location 
points described, or damage to the vehicle 
could occur.

Operating the jack
Position the jack under the relevant jacking 
point, attach the jack cranking handle to the 
jack. Turn the jack handle 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
1.Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel 
nut brace to slacken the wheel nuts half a 
turn anti-clockwise.
2.Raise the vehicle until the tire is clear of 
the ground.
3.Remove the wheel nuts and place to one 
side to prevent them from being lost.
4.Remove the road wheel. 
NOTE: DO NOT damage the surface of the 
wheel by placing it face down on the road.
5.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.
6.Fit the spare wheel and lightly tighten the 
wheel nuts, ensuring they are firmly 
seated. DO NOT fully tighten whilst the tire 
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 or anti-seize compound - any 
accumulation of dirt or rust could cause the 
wheel nuts to become loose and result in an 
accident.
7.Ensure that the space under and around 
the vehicle is free from obstructions then 
lower the vehicle and remove the jack and 
wheel chocks.
