Check that the head of the jack is correctly positioned in thejacking point so that the bump in the centreof the head fits into the jacking point holeand the base is positioned vertically belowthe jacking point. Also make sure you turnthe jack so that the crank is as far away fromthe side of the car as possible, at which pointthe jack's arms are perpendicular to thedirection of the car.

2. Put on the wheel. Tighten the wheel bolts thoroughly. Do not use lubricant on the threads of the
wheel bolts.
3. Lower the car so that the wheels cannot rotate. 4. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise. It is impor-
tant that the wheel bolts are tightened prop- erly. Tighten to 140 Nm. Check the tighten-ing torque with a torque wrench.
5. Refit the plastic caps on the wheel bolts.

Spare wheel
*
The spare wheel, the Temporary spare type, can be used to temporarily replace a punctured nor-mal wheel.
The illustration is schematic - the shape of the foam block may vary depending on car model.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel well with the outside down. The same bolt runsthrough to secure the spare wheel and the foamblock. The foam block contains all tools forchanging a wheel, see the section "Tool kit". The car's handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The spare wheel must bereplaced by a normal wheel as soon as possible. The spare wheel is smaller than the regular wheel, which will affect the car's ground clear-ance. Pay attention to high kerbs and do notmachine wash the car. •
Follow the manufacturer's recommended tyrepressure for the spare wheel.
• On all-wheel drive cars the drive on the rearaxle can be disconnected.
• If the spare wheel is fitted on the front axle, itis not possible to use snow chains at thesame time.
• The spare wheel must not be repaired.
IMPORTANT
• Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) with a spare wheel on the car.
• The car must never be driven fitted withmore than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.
Taking out the spare wheel1. Fold up the cargo area floor, from the rear
and forwards.
2. Undo the retaining screw.
3. Lift out the foam block with its tools.
4. Lift out the spare wheel.
Storing the punctured tyre1. Put the tools back in the foam block and lift the foam block back into the car.
2. Screw in the foam block using the mounting screws and then fold down the cargo area floor.
3. Place the punctured tyre in the cargo area.
