Observe the following when raising the vehi-
cle:
Rmake 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.
Rthe 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.
Ravoid changing the wheel on uphill and
downhill slopes.
Rbefore 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.
Rthe 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.
Rdo 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.
Rmake sure that the distance between the
underside of the tires and the ground does
not exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).
Rnever place your hands and feet under the
raised vehicle.
Rdo not lie under the vehicle.
Rdo not start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
Rdo not open or close a door or the tailgate
while the vehicle is raised.
Rmake 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.
