Vehicle tool kit, TIREFIT, jack and "Minispare" emergency spare wheel*

The vehicle tool kit, TIREFIT, jack and "Minispare" emergency spare wheel are in the stowage space under the luggage compartment floor.

Risk of injury

The jack is designed only to raise and hold the vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being changed.

You must use stands if you are carrying out work on the vehicle.

Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm, non-slip and level surface. Do not use wooden blocks or similar objects as a jack underlay. Otherwise, the jack will not be able to achieve its load-bearing capacity due to the restricted height.

Do not start the engine at any time while a wheel is being changed.

Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being supported by the jack. If you do not raise the vehicle as described, it could slip off the jack (e.g. if the engine is started or a door or the tailgate is opened or closed) and you could be seriously injured.

When using the jack, you should also observe the safety notes in the "Flat tyre" section more.

  

Open the luggage compartment floor more.
