age such as brittleness. The color may fade
if exposed to excessive sunlight.

Emergency assistance

> Find the marking on the sill that is closest to
the tire that will be changed > fig. 157. Behind
the marking, there is a lifting point on the side
sill for the vehicle jack.
> Raise the vehicle jack under the lifting point on
the side sill until the bracket on the jack @)
completely covers the notch on the vehicle.
> Align the vehicle jack so the bracket @ covers
the notch and the base (2) is flat on the ground.
The base @) must be directly under the mount-
ing point @.
> Install the rod on the vehicle jack: Insert the
rod into the opening on the handwheel. Turn
the crank to the left or right to secure it.
> Continue raising the vehicle jack with the crank
until the wheel lifts off the ground slightly.


ZX WARNING
— To reduce the risk of injury, make sure no
one is in the vehicle before raising it.
— Make sure the vehicle jack is stable. The risk
of
injury is increased when the ground is
slippery or soft, because the vehicle jack
could slide or sink.
— Only raise your vehicle with the vehicle jack
provided by the factory. If you use a vehicle
jack designed for another vehicle, your vehi-
cle could slip and cause injury.
— Position the vehicle jack only at the desig-
nated mounting points on the side sill and
align the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle jack
could slip and cause an injury if it does not
have sufficient hold on the vehicle.
—To reduce the risk of injury, do not raise any
other vehicles or other loads using the vehi-
cle jack provided by the factory.
— To reduce the risk of an accident, never start
the engine when the vehicle is raised.
—To reduce the risk of injury, support the vehi-
cle securely with suitable stands if work is to
be performed underneath the vehicle.



@) Note
Do not lift the vehicle by the sill. Position the
vehicle jack only at the designated mounting
points on the side sill. Otherwise, your vehicle
could be damaged.

ZA WARNING
— Do not touch the non-insulated parts of the
terminal clamps. The cable must also not
come into contact with vehicle components
that conduct electricity when it is connected
to the positive vehicle battery terminal. This
can cause a short circuit.
— The plugs on the battery cells must not be
opened.
— Keep ignition sources (such as open flames,
burning cigarettes, etc.) away from the vehi-
cle batteries to reduce the risk of an explo-
sion.
— Route the jump start cables so they cannot
get caught in the moving parts in the other

vehicle's engine compartment.
