The vehicle must be raised with the jack* to remove the wheel.
Apply the parking brake to stop the vehicle moving accidentally.
Engage first gear (manual gearbox) or move the selector lever to position P (automatic gearbox).
Locate the marking (recess) on the door sill closest to the wheel being changed Fig. 1. The jacking point is located behind the marking on the door sill.
Wind up the jack until the claw of the jack Fig. 2 -A- completely surrounds the seam on your vehicle.
Align the jack so that the claw of the jack -A- fits around the seam and the movable base plate of the jack -B- is flat on the ground. The base plate -B- must be positioned vertically underneath the jacking point -A-.
Now fit the crank handle onto the jack by inserting it in the opening on the knob. Turn the crank handle clockwise or anti-clockwise to secure it in place.
Raise the vehicle by winding the crank handle until the defective wheel is clear of the ground.
The jack may only be applied at the jacking points marked on the door sill Fig. 2. There is one jacking point for each wheel. Do not apply the jack anywhere else Caution!.
An unstable surface under the jack may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. Always provide a firm base for the jack on the ground. If necessary use a large, strong board or similar support. On a hard, slippery surface (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to prevent the jack from slipping.
WARNING!
- Prevent the base of the jack from slipping – risk of injury.
- Only apply the jack at the correct jacking points and align it. If it is not applied securely, the vehicle may slide off the jack - risk of injury!
