Roadside emergency 6-7

There are four jacking points, two each

side of the vehicle on the underside of the

floor. These provide positive location for

the jack.
Two indented, triangular jack location

points are provided on each sill cover.
The simplest way to correctly locate the

jacking point is to feel along the sill panel

to the triangular indentation and then fit

the jack head to the body flange as shown

in the illustration above.

!

WARNING:

1. Do not attempt to lift the vehicle

unless the jack head is fully
engaged in the jacking point.

2. Ensure that the handbrake is fully

applied.

Place the jack squarely beneath the

appropriate jacking point. Ensure that the

jack head is fully engaged. Carefully raise

the vehicle by turning the handle. Stop

jacking the vehicle when the tyre just

clears the ground. Minimum tyre lift gives

maximum vehicle stability.
Remove the wheel nuts and the wheel.

When changing the alloy road wheels,

transfer the centre badge to the

replacement wheel (when a full-size spare

wheel is used). Using the rounded end of

the wheel nut wrench handle from the

inside of the wheel, push the centre

badge from its housing. Push the centre

badge into the replacement wheel. If the

temporary-use spare wheel is to be fitted,

keep the centre badge safely and fit it to

the repaired full-size wheel when it has

been refitted.

!

WARNING:

When the temporary-use spare
wheel has been fitted, drive with
caution and replace with the
specified wheel and tyre as soon as
possible.
