The essentials
Raising the vehicle Fig. 85
Jack position points. Fig. 86
Fitting the jack. ●
Place the jack* (vehicle tools) on firm
gr ou
nd. If
necessary use a large, strong
board or similar support. If the surface is slip-
pery (for example tiles) place the jack on a
rubber mat or similar to prevent it from slip-
ping ››› . ●
Find the s up
por
t point on the strut (sunken
area) closest to the wheel to be changed
››› Fig. 85.
● Turn the jack* crank handle, located below
the strut s
upport point, to raise it until the
tab 1

i
s below the housing provi-
ded.
● Align the jack* so that tab 1 “grips” onto
the hou s
in
g provided on the strut and the
mobile base 2 is resting on the ground. The
b a
se p
late 2 should fall vertically with re-
s pect
t
o the support point 1 .
● Continue turning the jack* until the wheel
i s
s
lightly lifted off the ground. WARNING
● Mak e s
ure that the jack* remains stable. If
the surface is slippery or soft, the jack* could
slip or sink, respectively, with the resultant
risk of injury.
● Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-
plied by
the manufacturer. Other vehicles
could slip, with the consequent risk of injury.
● Only mount the jack* on the support points
designed f
or this purpose on the strut, and
always align the jack correctly. If you do not,
the jack* could slip as it does not have an ad-
equate grip on the vehicle: risk of injury!
● The height of the parked vehicle can
chan
ge as a result of variations in tempera-
ture and loading. CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the cross-
bar . On
ly place the jack* on the points de-
signed for this purpose on the strut. Other-
wise, the vehicle may be damaged. Removing and fitting the wheel
Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
bolts
and r
aising the vehicle with the jack.
Taking off the wheel
● Unscrew the wheel bolts using the box
sp anner and p
lace them on a clean surface.
● Take off the wheel ›››

● Mount the wheel.
● Screw on the wheel bolts in position and
tighten them loosely
with a box spanner.
● Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*.
● Tighten the wheel bolts in diagonal pairs
usin
g the wheel brace.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect 68
