The vehicle must be raised with the jack*
to remove the wheel.
Each jacking point is marked by a recess underneath the vehicle
Fig. 1.

selector button CAR > control button
(Car)*

on.
Apply the parking brake to stop
the vehicle moving accidentally.
Move the selector lever to position P.
Locate the jacking point under
the door sill closest to the wheel being changed
Fig. 1.
Wind up the jack under the jacking
point until the cylindrical part of the arm
Fig. 2 -A- of
the jack is below the plastic socket provided.
Align the jack so that the cylindrical part of the arm -A- fits
in the plastic socket provided under the door sill 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-.
Raise the vehicle until the defective wheel is clear of the ground.
The jack may only be applied
at the jacking points shown
Fig. 1. There
is one jacking point for each
wheel. Do not apply the jack anywhere else.
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; otherwise the vehicle could be damaged. There is also a risk of injury since the jack can slip off suddenly if it is not properly engaged.
- The height of the parked vehicle can change as a result of variations in temperature and loading.
Note
The jacking mode* is switched off automatically
if the vehicle exceeds a speed of 10 km/h.
