Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4.5 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be
replaced with a new jack;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted
on the jack.

soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threading before assembly: they might

wheels on the car which it equips or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use the jack to carry out repairs

should be used with the spare wheel
lifting device; it should be operated by hand
only.
WARNING

❒stop the vehicle in a position where it does not pose
a danger for on-coming traffic and where you can
replace the wheel safely. The ground must be flat
and sufficiently compact;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflecting safety jacket (compulsory by law
in certain countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;
