What you must do before changing a wheel.

– If you have a flat tyre or puncture, park the vehicle as far away from the flow of traffic as possible.
– Apply the handbrake firmly.
– Engage the first gear, or put the selector lever to position P for those vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
– All passengers must leave the vehicle. They should wait in a safe area (for instance behind the roadside crash barrier).
– Check whether the puncture can be mended using the Tyre Mobility System “General observations and safety advice.”
– Unscrew cap from the valve of the affected wheel.
– Take the tyre repair kit from the luggage compartment.
