Range Rover Evoque: Wheel changing
WARNING - THAT NO PERSON
SHOULD PLACE ANY PORTION OF
THEIR BODY UNDER A VEHICLE THAT
IS SUPPORTED BY A JACK.
Position the jack from the side of the
vehicle, in line with the appropriate
jacking point.
Jack up the vehicle using
only the
jacking points described, or damage to
the vehicle could occur.
Note: Your vehicle may be fitted with a tilt
sensor which activates the alarm if the vehicle
is tilted in any direction after it has been locked.
To lock the doors while changing the wheel,
and avoid the alarm activating, tilt sensor can
be temporarily disabled. See 56, VEHICLE
INFORMATION AND SETTINGS MENU.
Before rasing the vehicle, use the wheel nut brace to slacken the wheel nuts half a turn counter clockwise.
1. Locate the jack under the relevant jacking point.
Note: Do not allow the jack to contact the sill at any other point as damage may result.
Note: The Sports pack sills include arrows to identify jacking points.
2. Attach the cranking lever to the jack using the adaptor. Fit the wheel nut brace to the end of the cranking lever.
3. Rotate clockwise to raise until the jack pin locates into the jacking point.
4. Continue raising the vehicle until the wheel is clear of the ground.
5. Remove the wheel nuts and place them together where they cannot roll away.
6. Remove the wheel and place to one side.
Do not lay the wheel on its face, as this may damage the finish.
7. Fit the temporary spare wheel to the hub.
8. Re-fit the wheel nuts and lightly tighten them. Ensure that the wheel is making contact with the hub evenly.
9. Ensure that the space under the vehicle is clear of obstructions and lower the vehicle slowly and smoothly.
10. With all wheels on the ground and the jack removed, fully tighten the wheel nuts. The wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence (see illustration) to the correct torque of 133 Nm (98 lb.ft).
Note: If it is not possible to torque the wheel nuts when a wheel is replaced, they should be set to the correct torque as soon as possible.
Check and adjust the tyre pressure as soon as possible.
