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.
