WARNING   WARNING:  Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to not obstruct the flow of traffic and avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel.
WARNING   WARNING:  If your vehicle has a manual transmission, shift into first or reverse (R) gear, apply the parking brake, and switch the vehicle off.
WARNING   WARNING:  If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, shift into park (P), apply the parking brake, and switch the vehicle off.
WARNING   WARNING:  Make sure that your vehicle is on firm and level ground with the front wheels pointing straight ahead and set up a warning triangle if available.
WARNING   WARNING:  To help prevent your vehicle from moving when changing a wheel, use an appropriate block or wheel chock to secure the wheel diagonally opposite to the wheel being changed. For example, when changing the front left wheel, place an appropriate block or wheel chock on the right rear wheel.

Make sure all passengers are out of your vehicle.
Note:   : The use of tire sealants can damage the tire pressure monitoring system.
Note:   The tire pressure monitoring system indicator light illuminates when the spare tire is in use. To restore the full function of the monitoring system, all road wheels equipped with tire pressure monitoring sensors must be mounted on this vehicle.
Note:   If your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system, the warning indicator flashes if you fit the spare wheel to your vehicle. To restore the correct operation of the tire pressure monitoring system, you must have the repaired road wheel and tire assembly refitted to your vehicle.   See   Tire Pressure Monitoring System – Warning Lamps.  To prevent damage occurring to the tire pressure monitoring system sensors, make sure you have the damaged tire repaired or replaced by a tire professional.
If the spare wheel is the same type and size as your vehicle road wheel, you can fit the spare wheel and continue to drive in the normal manner.
If the spare wheel is not the same type and size as your vehicle road wheel, it has a label showing the maximum driving speed limit.
If the spare wheel is not the same type and size as your vehicle road wheel we recommend installing the temporary spare wheel and tire on the front axle.
The spare wheel is under the front of the vehicle on all battery electric vehicles except E-LWB van, which is at the rear.
You can obtain replacement locking wheel nuts or a locking wheel nut key using the reference number certificate.
The locking wheel nut key is in the glove box or in the storage compartment in the front right-hand side stepwell.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a wheel chock. The chock is in the glove compartment or in a storage compartment in the front right-hand side stepwell.

Installing a Road Wheel
WARNING   WARNING:  Only use the spare wheel and tire assembly provided as original equipment with your vehicle.
WARNING   WARNING:  Make sure there is no grease or oil on the threads or the surface between the wheel studs and the wheel nuts. This can cause the wheel nuts to loosen while driving.
WARNING   WARNING:  When you install a wheel, remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure to secure any fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without following these steps can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of vehicle control, personal injury or death.
WARNING   WARNING:  Have the wheel nuts checked for tightness and the tire pressure checked as soon as possible.

  1. Install the wheel.
Changing a Road Wheel - Tighten the Locking Nuts

  1. Lower your vehicle and remove the vehicle jack.
  1. Fully tighten all of the wheel nuts in the sequence shown.   See   Wheel Nuts. 
  1. Install the wheel trim.
Note:   Make sure that the wheel nuts are fully seated against the wheel.
Note:   Alloy wheel wheel nuts are suitable for use on a steel spare wheel.
Note:   If the spare wheel is not the same type and size as your vehicle road wheel replace it as soon as possible.
Note:   Check the wheel nuts for correct tightness and check the tire pressure as soon as possible.  See   Wheel Nuts. 
Stowing the Wheel and Vehicle Jack
Note:   Do not raise the spare wheel bracket without a wheel attached.If you lower the spare wheel bracket without a wheel attached, you may damage the winch mechanism.
