The vehicle manufacturer recom-
mends that the vehicle should addi-
tionally be protected against rolling
away during a wheel change.
WARNING
The jack, issued by the vehicle manu-
facturer, is provided in order to per-
form a wheel change in the event of a
breakdown. The jack is not designed
for frequent use; for example, chang-
ing from summer to winter tyres.
Using the jack frequently may cause it
to become jammed or damaged.
There is a danger of injury and dam-
age to property. Only use the jack to
change an emergency wheel or a
spare wheel in the event of a flat tyre.
WARNING
On soft, uneven or slippery ground,
for example, snow, ice, tiles or similar,
the jack may slip. There is a danger of
injury. Perform the wheel change on a
level, firm and non-slip surface if at all
possible.
WARNING
The jack is only optimised for raising
the vehicle and for use with the jack-
ing points on the vehicle. There is a
danger of injury. Do not lift another
vehicle or other items with the jack.
WARNING
If the jack has not been guided intot
he jacking point provided, the vehicle
might be damaged when the jack is
extended, or the jack could slip. There
is a danger of injury or damage to
property. When extending, make sure
that the jack is guided into the jacking
point adjacent to the wheelhouse.
WARNING
A vehicle raised with a jack can fall
from the jack if lateral forces are
applied. There is a danger of injury
and damage to property. If the vehi-
cleis raised, do not apply any lateral
forces to the vehicle or pull the vehi-
cle with sudden movements. Have
any wheel that is jammed removed by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
WARNING
The jack supplied with your vehicle
should not be used for any purpose
other than wheel changing and
should never be used in conjunction
with a vehicle support stand. Raising
the vehicle for the purpose of inspec-
tion should only be performed in a
controlled workshop environment on
a hoist by trained personnel.
The jack should be used on level firm
ground wherever possible. It is rec-
ommended that the wheels of the
vehicle be chocked, and that no per-
son should remain in a vehicle that is
being jacked.
The jack of your Toyota is mainte-
nance-free. Please observe the infor-
mation marked on the jack.
