The vehicle must be raised with a jack to remove the wheel.
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 claw of the jack is directly below the vertical rib under the door sill.
Align the jack so that the claw of the jack Fig. 2 -A- fits around the rib under the door sill and the movable base plate of the jack -B- is flat on the ground.
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.
- The car can be damaged if the jack is not applied at the correct jacking points. There is also a risk of injury since the jack can slip off suddenly if it is not properly engaged.
