WARNING
Never position anything between the
ground and the jack, nor between the jack
and the car's jacking point.
8. There are two jacking points on each side
of the car.
IMPORTANT
The ground under the jack must be firm,
smooth and level.
9. Wind up the jack so that the flange in the
bodywork ends up in the notch in the
head of the jack.
10. Lift the car so that the wheel is free.
Remove the wheel nuts and lift off the
wheel.
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised
on the jack.
Passengers must leave the car when it is
raised on the jack. If a wheel must be
changed in a trafficked environment, pas-
sengers must stand in a safe place.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for
occasional, short-term use, such as when
changing a wheel after a puncture, chang-
ing to winter/summer wheels, etc. Only the
jack for the specific car model may be
used to raise the car. If the car is to be
jacked up more often, or for a longer time
than is required just to change a wheel,
use of a garage jack is recommended. In
this instance, follow the instructions for
use that come with the equipment.

Changing wheels - fitting
It is important that the procedure for fitting
the wheel is carried out correctly.
Installation
1. Clean the contact surfaces between
wheel and hub.
2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel nuts
thoroughly.
3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot
rotate.
4. Tighten the wheel nuts crosswise. It is
important that the wheel nuts are tight-
ened with the correct tightening torque.
Check the torque with a torque wrench.
5. Refit the plastic caps on the wheel bolts.
