The towing eye may be used to pull the car up onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed platform.The car's position and ground clearance deter-mine whether it is possible. If the slope of the recovery vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground clearance under the car isinadequate, then the car may be damaged if youtry to pull it up using the towing eye. If necessary, raise the car by using the recovery vehicle's lifting device. Do not use the towing eye.
WARNING
No one/nothing is allowed to remain behind the recovery vehicle while the car pulled uponto the flatbed platform.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing on roads -
not for pulling the car unstuck or out
of a ditch. Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.

The puncture repair kit consists of a compressor and a bottle with sealing fluid. The sealing worksas a temporary repair. The sealing fluid effectivelyseals tyres punctured in the tread. The puncture repair kit has limited capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in the wall. Donot use the puncture repair kit on tyres that havelarger slits, cracks or similar damage.

WARNING
Check that the jack is not damaged, that the threads are thoroughly lubricated and that it isfree from dirt.
3. Take out the jack *, wheel wrench * and tools
for the wheel bolts' plastic caps that are fitted in the foam block.
Tool for removing the plastic caps on the wheel bolts.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa- sional, short-term use, such as when chang-ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-ter/summer wheels, etc. Only the jack for thespecific car model may be used to raise thecar. If the car is to be jacked up more often, orfor a longer time than is required just tochange a wheel, use of a garage jack is rec-ommended. In this instance, follow theinstructions for use that come with the equip-ment.
4. Place chocks in front of and behind the wheels which will remain on the ground to prevent them from rolling. Use heavy woodenblocks or large stones for example.
5. Screw together the towing eye with the wheel wrench * to the stop position.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye must be screwed all the way into the wheel bolt wrench.
6. Remove the plastic caps from the wheel
bolts with the intended tool.
7. Loosen the wheel bolts ½-1 turn anticlock- wise with the wheel wrench *.
WARNING
Never position anything between the ground and the jack, nor between the jack and thecar's jacking point.
IMPORTANT
The ground must be firm, smooth and level.
8. When raising the car, it is important that the
jack* or lifting arms are fitted in the intended
points on the car's underbody. The triangle markings in the plastic cover indicate thelocations of the jacking/lifting points. Thereare two jacking points on each side of thecar. There is a recess for the jack at eachpoint.

Spare wheel
*
The spare wheel, the Temporary spare type, can be used to temporarily replace a punctured nor-mal wheel.
The illustration is schematic - the shape of the foam block may vary depending on car model.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel well with the outside down. The same bolt runsthrough to secure the spare wheel and the foamblock. The foam block contains all tools forchanging a wheel, see the section "Tool kit". The car's handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel. The spare wheel must bereplaced by a normal wheel as soon as possible. The spare wheel is smaller than the regular wheel, which will affect the car's ground clear-ance. Pay attention to high kerbs and do notmachine wash the car. •
Follow the manufacturer's recommended tyrepressure for the spare wheel.
• On all-wheel drive cars the drive on the rearaxle can be disconnected.
• If the spare wheel is fitted on the front axle, itis not possible to use snow chains at thesame time.
• The spare wheel must not be repaired.
IMPORTANT
• Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) with a spare wheel on the car.
• The car must never be driven fitted withmore than one "Temporary Spare" wheel.
