2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC Tire jack

NOTICE
Never attach a trailer to the vehicle or leave it attached to the
vehicle when the trailer is supported by a trailer jack or blocks.
Various things (such as a change in trailer or vehicle load or a
flat tire) can lower or raise the vehicle. This subjects the trailer
hitch and the trailer to strong forces that can damage the vehicle
or the trailer.
If the engine is switched off and accessories in the trailer are on
and use electricity from the vehicle, the vehicle battery will be drained
as long as the electrical systems of the vehicle and the trailer are
connected.

WARNING
Improper use of your vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to fall
off the jack leading to serious personal injury. To help reduce
the risk of serious personal injury:
Use only jacks approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle. Oth-
er jacks might slip, even those approved for other Volkswagen
models, but not for your vehicle.
Always set up the jack on firm and level ground. The vehicle
may slip off the jack if the jack is resting on soft or sloping
ground. If necessary, place a sturdy board under the jack.
On a hard, slippery surface (such as a tiled floor), use an anti-
skid rubber mat or something similar to help prevent the jack
from slipping.
Position the jack only at the described vehicle lift points. Be-
fore you raise your vehicle, always make sure the jack claw
properly grips the vertical rib under the sill so that the jack
does not slip off when you are raising the vehicle ⇒ fig. 192.
Never have any part of your body (such as your arm or leg)
under the vehicle when it is supported by the jack. Never let
other persons have any part of their body under the vehicle,
either!
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never lift the vehicle when it is tilted or inclined to one side
or the engine is running.
Never lift the vehicle when more than 1 tire is flat or dam-
aged.
Do not start the engine while the vehicle is supported by a
jack. Engine vibrations may cause the vehicle to slip off the
jack.

The vehicle may only be lifted by a jack positioned at one of the four
jack lift points ⇒ .

Screw in the wheel bolts clockwise and tighten them slightly using
the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle.

WARNING
Wheel bolts that are tightened or installed improperly can come
loose, causing loss of vehicle control, a crash, and serious per-
sonal injury.
Always keep wheel bolts and threads in the wheel hub clean
and free of oil and grease. The wheel bolts must turn easily and
must be tightened with the right torque.
Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle only to
turn the wheel bolts when they are loose, never to loosen them
or tighten them firmly.
WARNING
Improper use of a compact spare wheel can cause loss of vehi-
cle control, a crash or other accident, and serious personal in-
jury.
Never use a compact spare wheel if it is damaged or worn
down to the wear indicators.
Never drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) with a compact
spare wheel. Avoid full-throttle acceleration, heavy braking, and
fast cornering!
Never drive more than 125 miles (200 km) with a compact
spare wheel that is installed on the front axle (drive axle).
Replace the compact spare with a normal wheel and tire as
soon as possible. Compact spare tires are designed for brief
use only.
