& WARNING
You or your passengers could be injured while changing a wheel if
you do not follow these safety precautions:
• If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance off the road. Turn off
the engine, turn the emergency flasher on and use other warning
devices to alert other motorists.
• Make sure that passengers wait
in a safe place away from the
vehicle and well away from the roadway and traffic.
• To help prevent the vehicle from moving suddenly and possibly
slipping off the jack, always fully set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed. When one
front wheel is lifted off the ground, placing the automatic trans­
mission in "P" (Park), or engaging a gear in a manual transmission
will
not prevent the vehicle from moving.
• Before you change a wheel, be sure the ground is level and firm.
If necessary, use a sturdy board under the jack.
• After installing the spare wheel, make sure that you remount
the flat tire/wheel in its storage area properly and tighten the
knurled retaining screw securely. •

proper positioning of
lifting jack
-Activate the parking brake so the vehicle will not roll
unintentionally.
- Shift into
1st gear on vehicles with manual transmission,
or move the
selector lever to the P position on vehicles
with automatic transmission.
- Position the jack below the door sill under the
mounting
point
that is closest to the wheel to be changed
=> page 274, fig. 188.
- Turn the
jack handle clockwise until the jack arm just fits
underneath the rib running along the underbody
=> &.
- Align the jack so that the jack arm claw => fig . 189 @ fits
snugly around the underbody rib and the movable base
plate @ sits flat on the ground. The base @ must be
vertical under the lifting point@.
- Wind the jack up further until the flat wheel comes off the
ground =>& .
Recesses at the front and rear of the underbody rib mark the proper
mounting locations for the jack ~
page 274, fig. 188. There is only
one
designated jack mounting point for each wheel. Do not apply
the jack anywhere else~& . The
jack should be positioned approximately 6 in. (15 cm) behind
the front wheel or 10 in. (25 cm) in front of the rear wheel.
An unstable surface under the jack can cause the vehicle to slip off
the jack. Always provide a firm base for the jack on the ground. If
necessary place a sturdy board or similar support under the jack. On
hard, slippery surfaces (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to
prevent the jack from slipping ~& .
& WARNING
• You or your passengers could be injured while changing a
wheel if you do not follow safety precautions:
-Mounting the jack under the vehicle at any other place than
indicated above may damage the vehicle or may result in
personal injuries.
- A soft or unstable surface under the jack may cause the
vehicle to slip off the jack. Always provide a firm base for the
jack on the ground. If necessary, use a sturdy board under the
