Car care
Changing a wheel
•
Stow the jack in the place provided for
it under the panel in the floor of the
trunk.Secureitproperlytoavoidinjury
to passengers in the event of an acci-
dent.
WARNING
•
The car jack is designed solely for use
in changing a wheel or fitting snow
chains. It must not be used to support
the car during repair work or servicing.
• Do not use the jack for any purpose
other than for jacking up the car.
•
•
Never crawl under a car that is
supported only by a jack.
If light-alloy wheels have been fitted to the
car for several years and a change is made
to steel wheels, the threads for the wheel
bolts in the brake discs should be cleaned
before the thinner steel wheels are fitted.
The innermost threads in the holes may be
clogged with sand, salt and rust so that the
correct tightening torque cannot be
achieved.
Special care must be taken if the car is
on a slope – use wheel chocks!

behind, the wheel that is diagonally
opposite to the one to be changed.

• Switch on the hazard warning lights if
the car is on a road.
NOTE
•
Apply the parking brake and leave the
car in gear (1st or reverse). Automatic

Ensure that everybodyis outof the car
before jacking it up.
A general rule is that all heavy loads must
be well secured in the luggage compart-
ment, see page 129.
Never start the engine while the car is
jacked up.
The jack must stand on a firm, level
surface.
