Practical advice
Where will I find...?
Vehicle tool kit, jack, TIREFIT kit and
emergency spare wheel*
The vehicle tool kit, jack, TIREFIT kit and
emergency spare wheel* are in the stowage
compartment under the luggage compart-
ment floor.
G Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise and hold
the vehicle for a short time while a wheel
is being changed.
You must use stands if you are carrying out
work on the vehicle.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip and level surface. Do not use
wooden blocks or similar objects as a jack
underlay. Otherwise, the jack will not be
able to achieve its load-bearing capacity
due to the restricted height.
Do not start the engine at any time while a
wheel is being changed.
Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being
supported by the jack. If you do not raise
the vehicle as described, it could slip off the
jack (e.g. if the engine is started or a door
or the tailgate is opened or closed) and you
could be seriously injured.
