The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
car with which it is provided or on
cars of the same model. It must not
be used for other purposes such as for
instance raising cars of other models.
In no case should it be used for repairs
under the car. Incorrect positioning
of the jack may cause the jacked car
to fall. Do not use the jack for high-
er capacities than stated on its label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains
are needed, a rear wheel should be
fitted to the front of the car and the
spare wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way with two normal dri-
ve wheels, snow chains can be fitted
to them to solve an emergency.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap cor-
rectly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Nev-
er place tools between the rim and
tyre. Check and restore, if required,
the pressure of tyres and spare wheel
to the values given in section “Tech-
nical specifications”.
WARNING
When driving with a space-
saver spare wheel fitted, the
driving performance of the car
changes. Avoid accelerating or brak-
ing sharply, abrupt turns or fast cor-
nerings. The life of the spare wheel
is approx. 3000 Km, after this dis-
tance it should be replaced with an-
other of the same type. Never at-
tempt to fit a conventional tyre on a
rim designed for use as a space-saver
spare wheel. Have the punctured
wheel repaired and refitted as soon
as possible. Two or more space-saver
spare wheels should never be used to-
gether. Do not grease the threads of
bolts before installing them: they
might slip out.
