the lug wrench/towing eyelet to loosen
the wheel nuts ½ – 1 turn by exerting
downward (counterclockwise) pressure.
Jack attachment points
7. There are two jack attachment points on
each side of the vehicle. Position the jack
correctly in the attachment (see the illus-
tration) and crank while simultaneously
guiding the base of the jack to the
ground. The base of the jack must be flat
on a level, firm, non-slippery surface.
Before raising the vehicle, check that the
jack is still correctly positioned in the
attachment.
8. Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be
changed is lifted off the ground.
9. Unscrew the wheel nuts completely and
remove the wheel.
WARNING
•
The jack must correctly engage the
jack attachment.
•
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level,
non-slippery surface.
•
Never allow any part of your body to
be extended under a vehicle suppor-
ted by a jack.
•
Use the jack intended for the vehicle
when changing a tire. For any other
job, use stands to support the vehicle.

Apply the parking brake and put the
gear selector in the Park (P) position.
•
Block the wheels standing on the
ground, use rigid wooden blocks or
large stones.
•
The jack should be kept well-greased
and clean, and should not be dam-
aged.
•
No objects should be placed between
the base of jack and the ground, or
between the jack and the attachment
bar on the vehicle.
