Operation Manual

IN AN EMERGENCY

❒ Fit the handle to operate the jack
and raise the car until the wheel is a
few centimetres above the ground.
When turning the jack handle, make
sure that it can turn freely without
scraping your hand against the
ground. The moving components of
the jack (screws and joints) can also
cause injuries: avoid touching them.
If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
❒ Make sure the contact surfaces
between space-saver wheel and
resting surfaces are clean so that
the fastening bolts will not come
loose.
❒ Fit the space-saver wheel aligning
the pin with one of the holes on the
wheel.
❒ Tighten the 4 fixing bolts, turn the
jack handle to lower the car and
remove the jack.
❒ Fasten the bolts completely,
passing alternately from one bolt to
the opposite one.

coupling between hub cap and
wheel.
Versions with alloy wheels
❒ Place the wheel onto the hub and
tighten the bolts using the wrench
provided.
❒ Lower the car and remove the jack.
