Renault Koleos Owners Manual: Changing a wheel

Renault Koleos Owners Manual / Practical advice / Changing a wheel

Changing a wheel

Switch on the hazard warning lights.

Keep the vehicle away from traffic and on a level surface where it will not slip.

Apply the parking brake and engage a gear (first or reverse, or P for automatic transmissions).

Ask all the passengers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.

Changing a wheel

Vehicles equipped with a jack, wheelbrace and jack handle

If necessary, remove the wheel trim.

Use the wheelbrace 1 to slacken off the wheel bolts. Fit it so that you press downwards rather than pulling upwards.

Start cranking up jack 4 by hand to align the base plate (which should sit flat against the ground) and until the jack head 3 is in the centre of mark 2.

Attach the wheelbrace 1 and the jack handle 6 (in groove 5).

Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts off the ground.

If the vehicle is not equipped with a jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain these from your approved dealer.

If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle's presence with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.

Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off the ground.

Undo the bolts and take off the wheel.

Fit the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to locate the mounting holes in the wheel and the hub.

Tighten the bolts, checking that the wheel is correctly positioned on its hub.

Lower the jack.

With the wheel on the ground, tighten the bolts fully and have the tightness of the bolts checked and the emergency spare wheel pressure checked as soon as possible.

If you have a puncture, replace the wheel as soon as possible.

A tyre which has been punctured should always be inspected (and repaired, where possible) by a specialist.

Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come loose under braking. After use, check that all the tools are correctly clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctly in its housing: risk of injury.

If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, only use these bolts for the emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.

The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances should it be used for carrying out repairs underneath the vehicle or to gain access to the underside of the vehicle.
