IN AN EMERGENCY

Please note: 

– The jack requires no adjustments.

– The jack cannot be repaired. If it

breaks it must be replaced with a new

jack.

– No tool, other than its handle, in-

dicated in this chapter, can be fitted

onto the jack. 

CHANGING THE WHEEL

1) Loosen the wheel bolts on the

wheel to be changed by approximately

one turn fig. 4.

2) Turn the jack handle so that the

jack opens partially.

3) Position the jack near the wheel

to be changed.

4) Ensure that grooves A-fig. 5 in

the jack fits properly into the side-

member B.

5) Warn any people present that the

vehicle is about to be raised; make

sure they keep at a safe distance and

do not touch the car until it is low-

ered once more.

6) Insert the handle in the jack and

turn it until the wheel to be changed

lifts a few centimetres off the ground.

When turning the handle make sure it

rotates freely without danger of graz-

ing your hands on the ground. Also

the moving parts of the jack (screws

and joints) can cause injury: do not

touch them. Clean yourself up if you

are soiled with lubricating grease.

7) Remove the wheel cap having re-

moved the three bolts securing it.

Then loosen the fourth bolt A-fig. 6

and remove the wheel.
