wheel/space-saver wheel)
Pull the load platform handle upward to
raise the load platform and gain access
to the tyre service sealant kit or spare

upwards can damage the floor upholstery
panel and the car.

the platform handle upwards, pull the
platform handle outwards, then position
the platform vertically with the lower
part resting on the top of the platform
positioning brackets (fig. 60). Push the
top of the platform down firmly to secure
it in place.
