bottom edge of the vehicle, under the
doors.4. Before positioning the jack, set it to the necessary height by rotating the eye by
hand.

point located nearest to the wheel
concerned so that the jack claw spans
the vertical base. Make sure it is properly
positioned.
The jack base must be on the ground
directly below the jacking point in a
manner that prevents it from slipping.5. Attach wrench to eye of threaded rod and turn crank to raise vehicle.
If this is not the case, carefully lower the
vehicle immediately and reposition the
jack.
Raise the vehicle until the wheel is just
clear of the ground.
