Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim.
Use the wheelbrace 1 to slacken off the
1
wheel bolts. Position it so as to be able
to push from above.
Place the jack 2 horizontally; the jack
head must be lined up with the sill clos-
est to the wheel concerned, between
the two notches 4.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.
Start cranking the jack by hand, posi-
tioning the jack support plate 3 in the
slightly indented groove underneath
the vehicle, located between the two
notches 4.
Continue to crank the jack so that the
baseplate is correctly positioned (it
should be underneath the vehicle and
aligned with the jack head).
Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off
the ground.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle's presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
