Warning:
Do not change a wheel in a situation where you risk being hit by other traffic. On busy roads, try to stop in a lay-by or a gateway. Be wary of passing traffic while changing the wheel – it is easy to become distracted by the job in hand.
Changing the wheel
The spare wheel and tools are stored in the luggage compartment. Fold back the floor covering and lift up the cover panel. On Estate models, turn the two floor handles to the unlocked position, then raise the cover panel and support it using the strut provided.
