4. To raise the wheel, turn the jack handle clockwise.
5. Install the jack as shown in the illustration below. There is a slot under the doors at the front and rear of the car.
6. Place a jack vertically under a reinforced area on the right or left side of the wheel to be replaced.
Caution: Do not attempt to raise the vehicle until the jack is installed and securely locked in the correct position.
7. Turn the wheelbrace or jack handle clockwise and carefully raise the vehicle until the jack is securely in place on the body and the wheel is 2.5 cm off the ground.
Attention: When lifting the car, make sure that the jack is securely positioned, otherwise it may slip out from under the car.
Note: The vehicle must be raised as high as necessary to change a wheel, but no higher.
Warning: Do not stand under a jacked up vehicle and do not start the engine.
The jack may slip out, resulting in serious injury or death.
8. Remove all nuts from the wheel by turning them counterclockwise.
