What to do in an emergency
6
If it is hard to loosen the tyre hold-
down wing bolt by hand, you can
loosen it easily using the jack handle.
1. Put the jack handle (1) inside of
the tyre hold-down wing bolt.
2. Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt
anticlockwise with the jack handle.
Changing tyres
• Never attempt vehicle repairs
in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
• Always move the vehicle com-
pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tyre. The jack should
be used on firm level ground.
If you cannot find a firm level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.
• Be sure to use the correct
front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never
use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jacking
support.
• The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack causing serious
injury or death.
WARNING
• Do not get under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack.
• No person should place any
portion of their body under a
vehicle that is supported by a
jack.
• Chock the wheel diagonally
opposite the flat tyre.
• Do not start or run the engine
whilst the vehicle is on the
jack.
• Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle whilst it is on
the jack.
• Make sure any children pres-
ent are in a secure place away
from the road and from the
vehicle to be raised with the
jack.
