Lower the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the bolts fully and have the tightness
of the bolts checked (tightening torque:
105 N.m) and the emergency spare tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking. After use, check
that all the tools are correctly clip-
ped into the tool kit, then position it
correctly in its housing: risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the
tool kit, only use these bolts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the
label affixed to the emergency spare
wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.
