Car care 217 Position for jack, Saab 9-3 Viggen. The front and rear jacking points are located behind covers that must be removed. Remove the covers by taking hold of the lower edge and pulling outwards. When replacing the covers, fit the catches along the top edge first and then press home the cover. 10 Recheck the wheel bolts after a few miles. Tightening torque: Light-alloy wheels: 80 ft.lbs (110 Nm) Steel wheels: 80 ft.lbs (110 Nm) We advise against using wheels with open wheel covers in winter, as the brake components are then more exposed both to slush and to road salt and grit. IB1174 Jacking points for a floor jack. NOTE Do not overtighten the bolts using an impact wrench: not only can this damage the wheels but it can also make it impossible to undo the bolts using the wheel wrench in the car's toolkit. NOTE When refitting wheel covers (where applicable), make sure that the valve protrudes through the hole in the wheel cover. Tire chains; see page 172. NOTE Saab 9-3 Viggen: The minimum permissible wheel diameter is 16", due to the size of the brake discs. IB1311
