Changing a wheel
Spare wheel, jack and tool kit are stowed in the trunk compartment. On the wagon models the jack and
crank should be secured according to the above illustration to avoid any disturbing rattles. Make sure
that the spare wheel is secured. Before raising the car with the jack be sure it is on firm and level ground.
NOTE: Do not crawl or work under the car while it is raised by the jack.
Before the car is raised with the jack the parking brake should be applied and one of the gears engaged.
With automatic transmission, the selector should be in Park. Block one of the wheels on the opposite

Note: To avoid excessive tire wear and rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in same location and
position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide
