G
Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise the ve-
hicle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed.
If you intend to work under the vehicle, it
must be placed on stands.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip, level surface. Do not use wooden
blocks or similar as jacking supports. The
jack would not be able to achieve its load-
bearing capacity due to the restricted
height.
Do not start the engine at any time while
the 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 boot lid is opened or closed).
Raising the vehicle
E
Secure the vehicle from rolling away
using the wheel chock, which is sup-
plied with the vehicle tool kit, and other
similar objects, for example, a large
stone.
Securing a vehicle on level ground (exam-
ple illustration)
E
On level ground, place chocks or simi-
lar objects in front of and behind the
wheel diagonal to the wheel to be re-
placed.
Securing a vehicle on slight downhill slope
(example illustration)
E
On slight downhill/uphill slopes, place
chocks or similar objects under both
wheels of the other axle.
G
Risk of injury
Only raise the vehicle on level ground or
slight downhill/uphill slopes. The vehicle
could otherwise fall off the jack and injure
you or others.
Steel wheel with wheel trim
E
Vehicles with steel wheels: carefully
reach into two wheel trim openings and
remove the wheel trim.
