Jack attachment
There is a jack attachment adjacent to each wheel location. Hang the jack from the attachment (alt. 1) or
position the jack on the bar in the jack attachment (alt. 2) as shown in the illustrations above and crank
while simultaneously guiding the base to the ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm,
non-slippery surface. Before raising the car check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the
attachment . Now raise the vehicle until the wheel is free of the ground. Unscrew the wheel nuts
completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread of the studs.
WARNING!
The jack's hook must engage the pin in the jack attachment (A). The car's weight must not rest on
the jack's hook (B).
Be sure the jack is on firm and level ground.
Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack.
Use the jack intended for the car when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support
the end of the car being worked on.
Apply the parking brake, select position P (automatic transmission).
Block the wheels standing on the ground. Use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
The jack should be kept well-greased.
