Changing a wheel
WARNING
• The car jack is designed solely for use
in changing a wheel or fitting snow
chains. It must not be used to support
the car during repair work or servicing.
• Never crawl under a car that is
supported only by a jack.
• Special care must be taken if the car is
on a slope – use wheel chocks!
• Position chocks, one ahead and one
behind, the wheel that is diagonally
opposite to the one to be changed.
• Switch on the hazard warning lights if
the car is on a road.
• Apply the handbrake and leave the car
in gear (1st or reverse). Automatic
transmission: move selector to the
P position.
• Ensure that everybody is out of the car
before jacking it up.
• Never start the engine while the car is
jacked up.
• The jack must stand on a firm, level
surface.
• Stow the jack in the place provided for
it under the panel in the floor of the lug-
gage compartment. Secure it properly
to avert injury to passengers in the
event of an accident.
• Do not use the jack for any purpose
other than for jacking up the car.
