Fitting the jack. In order to remove the wheel, the vehicle
must be raised with a jack.
– Locate the jacking point under the door sill
closest to the punctured wheel ››› Fig. 158.
– Place the jack under the jacking point and
turn the crank until the arm of the jack is di- rectly below the vertical rib under the door
sill.
– Align the jack so that the arm of the jack
fits around the rib under the door sill and
the movable base plate of the jack is flat on
the ground ››› Fig. 159 .
– Rai
se the vehicle until the defective wheel
is just clear of the ground.
Recesses at the front and rear of the door
sills mark the jacking points ››› Fig. 158.
There i

s only one jacking point for each
wheel. Do not fit the jack anywhere else.
An
unstable surface under the jack may
cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. There-
fore, it must be fitted on solid ground offer-
ing good support. Use a large and stable
base, if necessary. On a hard, slippery sur-
face (such as tile) use a rubber mat or similar
to prevent the jack from slipping. WARNING
● Take all precautions so that the base of the
jack does not slip. Failure to follow this in-
struction could result in an accident.
● The vehicle can be damaged if the jack is
not applied at the correct jacking points.
There is also a risk of injury since the jack can
slip off suddenly if it is not properly engaged. Jack position points for vehicles with
