Observe the following when raising the vehi-
cle:
R
make sure you have a suitable jack and
wheel wrench. If used incorrectly, the jack
could tip over with the vehicle raised.
For further information inquire at any
smart center.
R
the jack is designed only to raise and hold
the vehicle for a short time while a wheel
is being changed. It is not suited for per-
forming maintenance work under the vehi-
cle.
R
avoid changing the wheel on uphill and
downhill slopes.
R
before raising the vehicle, secure it from
rolling away by applying the parking brake
and inserting wheel chocks. Never disen-
gage the parking brake while the vehicle is
raised.
R
the jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a
large, flat load-bearing underlay must be
used. On a slippery surface, a non-slip
underlay must be used, e.g. rubber mats.
R
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.
R
make sure that the distance between the
underside of the tires and the ground does
not exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).
R
never place your hands and feet under the
raised vehicle.
R
do not lie under the vehicle.
R
do not start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
R
do not open or close a door or the tailgate
while the vehicle is raised.
R
make sure that no persons are present in the
vehicle when the vehicle is raised.
!
The jack is designed exclusively for
jacking up the vehicle at the jacking
points. Otherwise, your vehicle could be
damaged.
