JACK
Important notes:
❒ the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒ the jack requires no adjustment;
❒ the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a
fault it must be replaced by another original one;
❒ no tool other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒ stop the car in a position that is not dangerous for
oncoming traffic where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
❒ switch off the engine, pull up the handbrake and
engage the 1 st gear or the reverse gear. Wear the
reflective safety jacket (compulsory by law in
certain countries) before getting out of the car;
❒ open the luggage compartment, pull tab A fig. 101
and lift up the mat;
❒ using the wrench A fig. 102 located in the tool
box, loosen the locking device, take the tool box B
and place it close to the wheel to be replaced.
Then take the space-saver wheel C;
❒ take the wrench A fig. 103 and loosen the fixing
bolts by about one turn;
❒ position the jack under the car, near the wheel to
be changed;
❒ operate the device A fig. 104 to extend the jack
until the top of the jack B fig. 105 fits correctly
into the side member C (next to the mark
on
the side member);
❒ alert other passengers that the car is about to be
raised; all persons should be kept away from the
car until it has been lowered;
