WARNING
Choose a flat and firm surface for jacking the vehicle.
■
If the wheel has to be changed on a slope, first of all block the opposite
■
wheel with a stone or similar object to prevent the vehicle from unexpect-
edly rolling away.
Secure the base plate of the lifting jack with suitable means to prevent
■
possible moving. A soft and slippery ground under the base plate may move
the lifting jack, causing the vehicle to fall down. It is therefore always nec-
essary to place the lifting jack on a solid surface or use a wide and stable
base. Use a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the surface is smooth,
such as cobbled stones, tiled floor, etc.
Only attach the lifting jack to the attachment points provided for this pur-
■
pose.
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed.
■
Never position any body parts, such as arms or legs under the vehicle,
■
while the vehicle is raised with a lifting jack.
When the vehicle is raised, never start the engine.
■
CAUTION
Make sure that the jack is attached correctly to the web on the lower sil, oth-
erwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle.

Note
Note the embarked code number on both the adapter and at the end of each
■

The position of the anti-theft wheel bolt is marked on the back of the wheel
■
cover with every ŠKODA supplied original equipment hub cap or directly at the

ted according to the position marked on the back of the wheel cover position.
Breakdown kit
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Notes for driving with tyre repaired
Use the breakdown kit to reliably repair tyre damage caused by foreign bodies
or a puncture with diameters up to approx. 4 mm.
