IN AN

EMERGENCY

❒ fit the handle H into the device I of the

jack and lift the car until the wheel to

be changed is several centimetres off

the ground. When turning the handle,

make sure that it rotates freely, with-

out risking to injure your hand by rub-

bing it against the ground. Even the

moving components of the jack (screws

and joints) can cause injuries; avoid to

touch them. If you become soiled with

the lubricating grease, clean yourself

thoroughly;

❒ make sure the rest surfaces between

small spare wheel and hub are clean so

that the fastening bolts will not come

loose;

❒ put the jack near the wheel to be re-

placed, aligning it with the mark 

O on

the side member;

❒ make sure that the groove F-fig. 5 of

the jack is well in contact with the tab

G of the side member;

❒ warn anybody nearby that the car is

about to be lifted. They must stay clear

and not touch the car until it is back on

the ground;
