IN THE EVENT

OF A PUNCTURE

Wheel changing and cor-

rect use of the jack and

spare wheel call for some precau-

tions as mentioned below.

Signal the presence of the station-

ary vehicle according to current

regulations: hazard warning lights,

reflecting triangle, etc.

Any passengers should leave the

car, specially if the vehicle is heav-

ily laden, and wait for the wheel

to be changed out of harm of the

traffic.

If parked on a slope or rough road,

place wedges or other suitable de-

vices under the wheels to prevent

the car from rolling. Do not grease

the threads of bolts before in-

stalling them; they might slip out.

to your model of car: do

not use it on another model or use

the spare wheel of other models on

your car. On cars fitted with tyres

215/55 R16 (*), 225/45 R17,

235/40 R18 and spare wheel with
