Please note that:
❒ the jack weights 1.76 kg;
❒ the jack requires no adjustment;
❒ the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be re-
placed with a new jack;
❒ 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 so that it is not a danger for
on-coming traffic and where you can replace the wheel
safely. The ground must be flat and compact;
❒ turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake.
❒ engage the first gear or reverse;
❒ lift the boot mat A-fig. 121;
Fasten the wheel cup correctly to prevent
the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never in-
troduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre.
Regularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pres-
sure, complying with the data in the chapter
“Technical specifications”.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provid-
ed or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. In no case should it be used for repairs un-
der the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may
cause the jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver
wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted
to the front of the car and the space-saver wheel
should be fitted to the rear. This way with two
standard drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted
to them to solve an emergency.
