Attaching the jack
There are two jack attachment points located on each side of the car. These attachment points are
marked by arrows on the outside of the cover over the bottom sill (see illustration).
Check that the doors are closed and stay closed all the time the car is jacked up.
●
Position the jack under the two notches closest to the wheel to be changed.
●
Attach the crank to the jack (A).
●
Attach the lug wrench (B) to the crank.
●
Raise the jack by cranking it clockwise. Be sure the jack engages the attachment point correctly.
The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car,
check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment point.
●
Raise the car until the wheel to be changed is lifted off the ground.
●
Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread
on the studs.
WARNING!
The jack must be correctly placed in the jack
attachment.
