The essentials
● Find the support point on the strut (sunken
area) closest to the wheel to be changed

● Turn the jack* crank handle, located below
the strut support point, to raise it until the

● Align the jack* so that tab

Continue turning the jack* until the wheel
●
is slightly lifted off the ground.
WARNING
Make sure that the jack* remains stable. If
●
the surface is slippery or soft, the jack* could
slip or sink, respectively, with the resultant
risk of injury.
● Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-
plied by the manufacturer. Other vehicles
could slip, with the consequent risk of injury.
● Only mount the jack* on the support points
designed for this purpose on the strut, and
always align the jack correctly. If you do not,
the jack* could slip as it does not have an ad-
equate grip on the vehicle: risk of injury!
The height of the parked vehicle can
●
change as a result of variations in tempera-
ture and loading.
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the cross-
bar. Only place the jack* on the points de-
signed for this purpose on the strut. Other-
wise, the vehicle may be damaged.

bolts and raising the vehicle with the jack.
Taking off the wheel

spanner and place them on a clean surface.
● Take off the wheel.
Putting on the spare wheel
When fitting tyres with a compulsory rotation
direction, observe the instructions in

● Screw on the wheel bolts in position and
tighten them loosely with a box spanner.
● Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*.
● Tighten the wheel bolts in diagonal pairs
using the wheel brace.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect
