Practical hints Flat tire Jack up the vehicle by pumping (indicated by the arrow) until the wheel is a maximum of 1.2 in (3 cm) from the ground. Warning! Removing the wheel Remove the wheel bolts. G ! Do not place wheel bolts in sand or dirt. This could result in damage to the bolt and wheel hub threads. Remove the wheel. Warning! Place jack on firm ground. The jack is intended only for lifting the vehicle briefly for wheel changes. It is not suited for performing maintenance work under the vehicle. Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised. Never lie down under the raised vehicle. G ! Do not position the jack on the body of the vehicle, as this may cause damage to the vehicle. Make sure no one is injured when removing the wheel. Grip wheel from the sides. Keep hands from beneath the wheel. Position jack under the axle housing, so that it is always vertical (plumb-line) as seen from the side, even if the vehicle is parked on an incline. Be certain the jack arm is positioned correctly under the axle housing (axle must fall into jack contour). 393
