WHEELS AND TYRES

Jack*

Use the jack to raise the car when changing a
wheel.
Only use the original jack when fitting a spare
wheel or when changing between summer and
winter wheels. The jack's thread must always be
well greased.
IMPORTANT
The tools and jack* must be stored in the
intended location in the car's cargo area
when not in use.
The jack needs to be cranked together to the
correct position in order to have space.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa-
sional, short-term use, such as when chang-
ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-
ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for the
specific car model may be used to raise the
car. If the car is to be jacked up more often, or
for a longer time than is required just to
change a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-
ommended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the equip-
ment.
