Vauxhall Combo Owner's Manual

Some model variants have a tyre repair kit 

instead of a spare wheel – see page 157. 
To ensure your safety, make the following 

preparations and observe the following 

information when changing wheels: 
z Park the vehicle on a level, firm and 

non-slippery surface.

z Switch on the hazard warning lights, 

apply the handbrake, engage first gear 

or reverse.

z Correctly set up the warning triangle. 

Warning triangle – see page 148.

z Remove the spare wheel from beneath 

the floor.

z Before raising the vehicle, set the front 

wheels to the straight-ahead position. 

z Before raising the vehicle, slacken the 

wheel bolts half a turn. Do not unscrew 

the bolts at this time.

z Never change more than one wheel at a 

time. 

z Block the wheel diagonally opposite the 

wheel to be changed by placing wedge 

blocks or equivalent in front and behind 

the wheel. 

z Use the jack only to change wheels. 
z If the ground on which the vehicle is 

standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1 cm 

thick) should be placed under the jack. 

Using a thicker board could damage the 

jack and the vehicle. 

z Upon a wheel change, the taper of each 

wheel bolt must be lightly greased 

before the bolt is tightened. Use 

commercially available lubricating 

grease for this purpose. We recommend 

that you consult your Vauxhall 

Authorised Repairer.

z No people or animals may be in the 

vehicle when it is jacked up. 

z Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle. 
z Do not start or run the engine while the 

vehicle is on the jack.

z Tighten the wheel bolts after lowering 

the vehicle.
