Fitting the load carriers (accessory)
Make sure that the load carrier is pressed firmly out against the roof rail. Screw the load carrier in place. Use the
supplied torque wrench and tighten to the mark on the wrench (corresponding to 6 Nm). See illustration.
Load carrier cover
The car's ignition key or the stud on the edge of the supplied torque wrench can be used to undo or tighten the cover.
Turn a quarter turn (90 degrees). See illustration.

Jack for AWD models
CAUTION:
The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with
the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
WARNING!
• The jack's attachment must engage the bar in the jack attachment (see inset illustration on the previous page). The
car's weight must not rest on 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 car supported by a jack.
• Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the
car being worked on.
• Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission) or Reverse gear (manual transmission).
• Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
• The jack should be kept well-greased.
Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the
wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub prior to installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise (see illustration) and
tighten by turning lightly clockwise. Lower the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts to 102 ft. lbs.
(140 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where applicable).
CAUTION : Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or
lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel rims, as they make it impossible to fit the
hub caps.

Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the engine inlet manifold and a charge air cooler to
cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increase in air flow raises pressure in the intake manifold and increases
engine power over that developed by A normally-aspirated engine. The charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator)
is located between the turbo-compressor and inlet manifold.
