attachment point is intended for the jack
(see the illustration).

changed is lifted off the ground.
9. Unscrew the wheel nuts completely and
carefully remove the wheel so as not to

The jack must correctly engage the jack
attachment.

Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface.

Never allow any part of your body to be
extended under a vehicle supported by
a jack.

gear selector in the Park (

Block the wheels standing on the
ground, use rigid wooden blocks or
large stones.

The jack should be kept well-greased
and clean, and should not be damaged.

No objects should be placed between
the base of jack and the ground, or
between the jack and the attachment
bar on the vehicle.
