Remove the spare wheel prior to jacking the vehicle, to avoid destabilizing the vehicle when raised.
The spare wheel is heavy and if handled incorrectly may cause injury. Use extreme caution when lifting or maneuvering the wheels.
Secure the spare wheel (or the removed wheel) in the correct position using the retaining bolt.

Open the spare wheel access hatch in the loadspace area and remove the vehicle jack from the tool tray.
Lift the cap covering the spare wheel hoist winch nut.
Note: Before removing the spare wheel, take note of its stowage position. The wheel to be changed must be correctly stowed in its place.

NOTICE
Do not use power tools to lower the spare wheel. Doing so may damage the mechanism.
1. Fit the wheel nut brace to the wheel hoist winch nut.

4. Hold the cable and tilt the lifting lug until it can be passed through the hole in the wheel, as shown.
