5) Warn anyone nearby that the car
is about to be lifted. They must stay
clear and not touch the car until it is
back on the ground.

jack and turn it until the wheel to be
changed lifts a few centimetres off the
ground. When turning the jack handle

of the jack (screw and joints) may al-
so cause injury if touched. Clean off
any grease.
7) Unscrew the 4 wheel bolts and
remove the wheel.

cause the wheel bolts to come loose.
Fit the spare wheel, in order that the
holes A-fig. 6 coincide with the rele-
vant pins B .
9) Fasten one bolt A-fig. 7 near the
inflation valve B .
