Depending on whether the normal
wheels are fitted with steel or light al-
loy rims, the spare wheel (always
made of steel) differs in order to be
compatible with the wheel bolts which
are specific for each of the two types
of rim.
If the type of wheel to be used is to
be changed (alloy rims in place of steel
rims and vice-versa) the bolts must al-
so be changed and a specific spare
wheel adopted.
Keep the bolts and the spare wheel
as they are essential if the original
wheels are to be refitted at some time
in the future.
9) Warn anyone nearby that the ve-
hicle is about to be lifted. They must
stay clear and not touch the vehicle
until it is back on the ground.
10) Turn the jack handle and raise
the car until the wheel is a few cen-
timetres above the ground.
The jack handle must turn freely,
without touching the ground to avoid
scraping your hands. Do not touch the
moving parts of the jack as they can
cause injuries. If you dirty your hands
with grease, clean them carefully.
11) Fully unscrew the 4 bolts, re-
move the wheel and, where provided
recover the wheel hub cap.
12) Make sure the surfaces of the
space-saver spare wheel that come in-
to contact with the hub are clean and
free from any impurities which could
result in the wheel bolts working
loose.
13) Fit the spare wheel making sur
that pegs B fit into holes A-fig. 5.
14) Tighten the four fastening bolts.
15) Lower the car by turning the jack
handle and remove the jack.
16) Tighten up the wheel bolts com-
pletely in criss-cross fashion follow-
ing the order shown in fig. 6.
17) Put the punctured tyre into the
space-saver spare wheel housing..
