same direction
of
rotation - the left

wheel should
be·
changed with the left rear wheel.
WHEEL CHANGING
The tool bag and jack are stored
under
the
floor
of
the
trunk; the rear section
of
the
floor
lifts
out
easily. The
spare wheel is carried
upright
in the
trunk
.
If you have to jack up the car, e.g. to change a wheel
or inspect the brakes. locate the jack in one
of
the attach-
ment paints (front
or
rear) underneath the side members
(see illustration).

Positioning of jack
1.
Apply the hand brake. Slide the jack into the
attachment
pOint and crank it
down
until
it
touches the
ground.
2.
Before lifting, make sure that the upturned edge of
the head
of
the jack is engaged inside the flange
of
the
side member (see illustration) and that the
whole
foot
is
in contact with the
ground
. Slacken the wheel nuts
slightly before lifting.
3. Crank up the jack until the wheel clears
the
ground.
Then unscrew the wheel nuts and take the wheel off.
To remove the hub cap, use the wheel
nut
socket wrench;
insert the chisel-shaped end under the rim
of
the wheel
cover, press the wrench against the tire, and strike the
free end with
your
hand.
If a garage jack is used, the lifting heads must be located
under the reinforced parts
of
the underbody.
Never get underneath the car when it is jacked up.
