engage first gear or reverse;
put on the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain countries)
before getting out of the vehicle;
indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by the
law in the current country (e.g. warning
triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
in the event of a wheel change on a
slope or on unsurfaced roads, put any
object as stop under the wheels;
take the tool bag from under the
passenger seat.
The container includes these tools:
(A) - tow hook

if the tool container is not provided,
for special trim versions, a bag
containing the above tools may be
provided;
for versions with alloy rims, remove
the press-fitted hub cap;
take the extension for spanner, the
bolt spanner and the rod for spanner
from the tool container;
with the tools assembled correctly,
loosen the fixing bolts for the wheel to
be changed by one turn;
turn the ring nut to partly extend the
jack;
position the jack at the lifting support
nearest the wheel to be replaced, at
the points shown in fig. 296. For short
wheelbase versions with retractable
footboard, the jack must be positioned
at the lift point shown in fig. 298 aligned
(45°) so that it does not interfere with
the retractable footboard;
