WARNING
The jack may be used to replace wheels
only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use the jack to carry out repairs
under the car. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the jacked car to fall. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label.
WARNING
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel. So, if a front (drive)
wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a
rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the
car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted
to the rear.This way with two normal drive
wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to
solve an emergency.
WARNING
Fit the wheel cap correctly to prevent it
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Never introduce
tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and spare wheel pressures regularly,
referring to the values shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.
JACK
Please note that:
❒ the jack weight is 1,76 kg;
❒ the jack requires no adjustment;
