Fitting a wheel
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or drop – Risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack strictly at
one of the jacking points A or B under
the vehicle, ensuring that the head of the
jack is centred under the contact area on
the vehicle. Other wise, there is a risk of
damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack
dropping
– Risk of injury!

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare
wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting it is
normal to notice that the washers do
not come into contact with the steel or
"space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel
is secured by the conical contact of each
bolt.
