First, open the boot and locate the tools provided with the vehicle to release the wheel; these can be found in a compartment on the right side of the boot. As shown in the video, use the supplied screwdriver to remove the cover cap from the hole where you will insert the socket spanner; this hole is located beneath the rubber seal above the rear bumper.
