ATTENTION
38) If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute
a serious risk to the safety of occupants
in the event of accidents or sharp
braking. Therefore, always place both
the jack and punctured wheel in the
dedicated housing in the boot.
39) It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the car
next to the driving lane: make sure that
the car is at a sufficient distance from the
road, to avoid being run over.
40) Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights,
warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on
board should leave the car, especially if it
is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed. On gradients or
on unsurfaced roads, chock the wheels
with the wedge provided.
41) The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
car with which it is supplied or on other
cars of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited.
Never use it to carry out maintenance
or repairs under the car or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa; we
advise you to contact a Jeep Dealership.
42) Never go under the raised car: use
the jack only in the positions indicated.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than
the one shown on its label. Never start
the engine with car raised. If the car is
raised more than necessary, everything
can become more unstable, with the risk
of the car dropping violently. Therefore,
only lift the car just enough to access
the space-saver spare wheel (where
provided).
43) 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
("worm screw" and joints) can also cause
injuries: do not touch them. If you come
into contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.
44) After lifting/locking with the jack,
remove the spanner, taking care NOT
to turn it in the wrong direction while
attempting to free it as this could release
the attachment device and compromise
safety.
45) Only use the jack at the indicated
positions, and only for lifting the car
when changing a wheel. When working
on or near a carriageway, pay the utmost
attention to moving cars. To ensure that
the inflated or flat spare wheel is stowed
securely, place it with the valve stem
pointing downwards.
46) The car's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration
and braking, abrupt steering and fast
cornering. The overall duration of the
space-saver wheel is about 3000 km,
after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a standard tyre on a
rim that is designed for use with a space-
saver wheel. Have the wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible. Using
two or more space-saver wheels at the
same time is forbidden. Do not grease the
threads of the bolts before fitting them as
they could unscrew while driving!
47) The space-saver wheel (where
provided) is specific to your car: do not
use it on other models, or use the space-
saver wheel of other models on your car.
The space-saver wheel must only be
used in the event of an emergency. Never
use it for more than strictly necessary
and never exceed 80 km/h. "Attention!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!".
Replace with standard wheel as soon
as possible. Never remove or cover
the sticker on the space-saver wheel.
Never apply a hubcap on a space-saver
wheel. The car's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration
and braking, abrupt steering and fast
cornering.
