On downhill gradients: place chocks or

Raising the vehicle
G
Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise and hold the
vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed.
You must use axle stands if you are carrying
out work on the vehicle.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip, level surface. 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.
Do not start the engine at any time while a
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 if a door or the
tailgate is opened or closed) and you could be
seriously injured.
G
Risk of accident
If you fail to position the jack correctly, the
vehicle may:
R
slip off the jack
R
injure you or others
R
be damaged
Thus, it is important to make sure that the jack
is positioned correctly in the respective jack-
ing points. Before positioning the jack,
remove any dirt that may have collected in the
jacking points.
