IN AN
EMERGENCY
The jack may only be used to
replace wheels on the car
which it equips or other cars of the
same model. Never use the jack for
other purposes, such as lifting other
models of vehicle. Never use the jack
to carry out repairs under the car. In-
correct positioning of the jack may
cause the car to fall. Do not use the
jack for loads higher than those
shown on the label. Snow chains can-
not be fitted on a space saver spare
wheel. Therefore, if a front wheel
(drive wheel) is punctured and you
need to use snow chains, swap with a
rear wheel. In this way, you will ha-
ve two normal wheels on the front on
which you can fit snow chains and
solve the emergency.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel cup assem-
bly may cause it to come off
when the car is travelling. Never tam-
per with the inflation valve. Never in-
troduce tools of any kind between the
rim and the tyre. Check tyre and spa-
ce saver spare wheel pressure regu-
larly referring to the values shown in
the “Technical Specifications” chap-
ter.
WARNING
Important notes:
❒ the jack cannot be repaired: replace
with an original spare part if damaged;
❒ no tool other than its cranking devi-
ce 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 sa-
fely. The ground must be flat and com-
pact;
❒ Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
❒ Engage first gear or reverse;
❒ lift the boot mat;
❒ loosen the fastening device A-fig. 11;
❒ take out the tool container B and take
it near to the wheel to be changed;
❒ take the space saver spare wheel C;
