SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Handling the Jack
WARNING
• Raising the vehicle with a jack could lead to an accident when carried out on
soft or inclined surfaces. Ensure that you always carry out this operation on flat,
solid surfaces.
• Do not place any objects above or below the jack while performing the jacking
operation.
• Always apply the parking brake fully and correctly chock the wheels with the
gearshift lever in the "R (reverse)" position for manual transmission models
and "P" for automatic transmission models before jacking the vehicle. A vehicle
blocked only with the parking brake could move, creating a very dangerous
situation when the rear wheels are jacked up.
• To lock the steering wheel, in models with passive entry and start system, place
the front wheels in a straight position, switch the power mode to "OFF", then
open or close the driver side door. In models without passive entry and start
system, place the front wheels in a straight position and remove the key from
the starter switch.
• Ensure that there are no people or objects present in the vehicle before it is
jacked up.
• In order to ensure safety, doors should never be opened and the engine should
never be started during a jack-up operation.
• The jack must only be used at one of the specified jacking points. In addition,
you must confirm that it makes good contact with the specified point.
• In order to provide extra safety should the jack slip, once a spare tire has been
removed, it should be placed under the vehicle near the jack.
• Before starting a jacking operation, ensure that the jack and the jacking point to
be used are clear of dirt, oil and grease. Failure to observe this precaution could
lead to an accident should the dirt or oil cause the jack to slip.
• It might start moving when the engine power is transmitted to the rear axle even
when one of the wheels on the axle is raised clear of the ground. Do not start
the engine with any rear wheel in contact with the ground.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a differential lock system, it might start moving
when the engine power is transmitted to the rear axle even when one of the
wheels on the axle is raised clear of the ground. Do not start the engine with any
rear wheel in contact with the ground.
• The jack provided with your vehicle must be used only for changing defective
tires and fitting or removing tire chains. In order to ensure safety, furthermore,
only one wheel should be jacked up at a time.
