(6.7 inches) from the edge of the rear

❒ fit the handle H into the device I of
the jack and lift the car until the
wheel to be changed is several
centimetres off the ground. When
turning the handle, make sure that it
rotates freely, without risking to
injure your hand by rubbing it against
the ground. Even the moving
components of the jack (screws and
joints) can cause injuries; do not
touch them. If you become fouled
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
❒ make sure the rest surfaces between
small spare wheel and hub are clean
so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
