2014 SKODA FABIA ECU

WARNING■Choose a flat and firm surface for jacking the vehicle.■If the wheel has to be changed on a slope, first of all block the opposite
wheel with a stone or similar object to prevent the vehicle from unexpect-
edly rolling away.■
Secure the base plate of the lifting jack with suitable means to prevent
possible moving. A soft and slippery ground under the base plate may move
the lifting jack, causing the vehicle to fall down. It is therefore always nec-
essary to place the lifting jack on a solid surface or use a wide and stable
base. Use a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the surface is smooth,
such as cobbled stones, tiled floor, etc.
■
Only attach the lifting jack to the attachment points provided for this pur-
pose.
■
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed.
■
Never position any body parts, such as arms or legs under the vehicle,
while the vehicle is raised with a lifting jack.
■
When the vehicle is raised, never start the engine.
CAUTION
Make sure that the jack is attached correctly to the web on the lower sil, oth-
erwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle.

For a possible wheel change the adapter for the anti-theft wheel bolts
should always be kept in the vehicle. The adapter is kept in the vehicle tool
kit.
Note
■ Note the embarked code number on both the adapter and at the end of each
anti-theft wheel bolt. This number can be used to purchase a ŠKODA Original
Parts replacement adapter, if necessary.■
The anti-theft wheel bolt set and adapter can be purchased from a ŠKODA
Partner.
■
The position of the anti-theft wheel bolt is marked on the back of the wheel
cover with every ŠKODA supplied original equipment hub cap or directly at the
factors. When using an anti-theft wheel bolt, make sure that this has been fit-
ted according to the position marked on the back of the wheel cover position.
