12. Lower the jack until it is free. Remove the
wheel blocks. Reassemble the lug wrench
to the jack assembly and stow it in the spare
tire area. Secure the assembly using the
means provided. Release the parking brake
before driving the vehicle.
13. After 25 miles (40 km), check the wheel
bolt torque with a torque wrench to ensure
that all wheel bolts are properly seated
against the wheel.
14. Place the jack on the foam tray and open it
far enough so that it is secured. Once
placed in position, rotate it clockwise to lock
it in. Replace the alignment pin in the center
hole to lock the jack in place.
JACK USAGE PRECAUTIONS
To complete the Use and Maintenance
Handbook to which this supplement is
attached, given below are some instructions on
the proper use of the jack.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack
parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.
CAUTION!
The jack is a tool designed exclusively for
changing a wheel, in case of a puncture or
damage to a tire of the vehicle on which it is
fitted or on vehicles of the same model. Any
other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle models
or different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change summer/
winter wheels and vice versa. Never go under
the raised vehicle. If any work under the
vehicle is necessary, contact an authorized
dealer. Incorrect placing of the jack can
cause the vehicle to drop: use it only in the
positions indicated. Do not use the jack for
loads higher than that specified on the label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised. If
the vehicle is raised more than necessary,
everything can become more unstable, with
the risk of the vehicle dropping violently.
Therefore raise the vehicle only as much as
necessary for the wheel/spare.
