CHANGING A WHEEL
Please note:
– the jack weighs 1.85 kg;
– the jack requires no adjustments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks it must be replaced with a new
jack;
– no other tool, part from the han-
dle shown in this chapter can be fitted
to the jack.
Change the wheel as follows:
1) Stop the vehicle so that it is not
a hazard for other road users or your-
self when changing the wheel. The
ground should be as flat and firm as
possible.
2) Stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
3) Engage first gear or reverse.
4) Lift the boot carpet.
5) Unscrew the locking device A-
fig. 2. Lift out the tool kit and place
it near the wheel to be changed and
take out the space-saver spare wheel.
6) Loosen the bolts on the wheel to
be replaced by approximately half a
turn. If alloy rims are fitted, shake the
car to facilitate removing the rim from
the wheel hub.
7) Turn the jack handle so the jack
opens partially.
8) Place the jack near the wheel to
be changed and make sure groove A-
fig. 4 of the jack fits snugly into slot
B of the long member.
