Only use the middle rod and the pump lever rod
with the largest diameter for the jack as a lug
wrench extension. Only insert the middle rod on
the lug wrench, and always as far as it will go. Oth-
erwise, the rods could bend and deform so much
that they can no longer be used as pump levers for
the jack.

h Super Single tires:
es: if you mount the
spare wheel to the rear axle, do not exceed the
maximum speed of 34 mph (55 km/h) and the
maximum distance of 62 miles (100 km). Other-
wise, the transmission could be damaged due to
the di erent rotational speeds of the wheels.

Using the pump lever, slowly turn the drain
screw on the jack approximately one revolution
and carefully lower the vehicle.
