❒ position the jack near the wheel
to be replaced at a distance
of approximately 250 mm
(9.8 inches) from the edge of
the front wheel arch if a front wheel
is to be replaced, or at a distance
of 170 mm (6.7 inches) from
the edge of the rear wheel arch
if a rear wheel is to be replaced
(as shown in the figure);
❒ make sure that the groove F-fig. 6
of the jack is well in contact with
the tab G of the side member;
❒ warn bystanders that the car is about
to be lifted. They must stay clear and
not touch the car until it is back
on the ground;
❒ fit the handle H into the jack device
I and lift the car until the wheel to
be changed is some centimetres off
the ground.
When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without
scraping your hand against the
ground. The moving components of
the jack (screws and joints) can also
cause injuries: avoid touching them.
If you become soiled with the
lubricating grease, wash it off
thoroughly;
❒ make sure the contact surfaces
on the space-saver wheel are clean
so that the retaining bolts will not
come loose;
