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

rolling away by applying the parking brake
and inserting wheel chocks. Never disen-

The jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a
large, load-bearing underlay must be used.
On a slippery surface, a non-slip underlay
must be used, e.g. rubber mats.

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.

Make sure that the distance between the
underside of the tires and the ground does
not exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).

raised vehicle.
