Fig. 194 Sill: positioning the vehicle jack
> Place the vehicle jack from the vehicle tool kit
ona firm surface. Use a flat, stable support if
necessary. On a slippery surface such as tile,
you should use a non-slip pad such as a rubber
mat > /\.
> Find the marking on the sill that is closest to
the tire that will be changed > fig. 193. Behind
the marking, there is a lifting point on the side
sill for the vehicle jack.
> Turn the vehicle jack located under the mount-
ing point on the sill to raise the jack until its
arm @) ° fig. 194 is located under the desig-
nated mounting point.
> Align the vehicle jack so the arm (@) engages in
the designated mounting point in the side sill
and the base (2) lies flat on the ground. The
base (2) must be directly under the mounting
point @).
> Continue raising the vehicle jack until the wheel
lifts off the ground slightly.


— Make sure the vehicle jack is stable. There is
a risk of injury 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.


Z\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of injury, make sure no
one is in the vehicle before raising it.
