Changing a wheel
The spare wheel, jack and tool kit are stowed in the trunk compartment. When the car is to be raised up,
the jack should be on level, firm ground.
Avoid creeping under the car when it is raised by the jack. There is a risk that the car may slide
off the jack, especially if the ground is soft.
Before the vehicle is raised up, the parking brake should be applied and one of the gears engaged.
Also block one of the wheels standing on the ground.
With automatic transmission, the selector should be in Park.
