To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
Position the jack horizontally, with the
jack head positioned at the same height
as support 2 provided in the lower sec-
tion of the bodywork, closest to the
wheel concerned.
Start cranking up jack 3 by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Place a plank of wood under the base
plate if on soft ground.
Turn the wheelbrace to lift the wheel off
the ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.
