WARNING
Never position anything between the ground
and the jack, nor between the jack and the
car's jacking point.
IMPORTANT
The ground must be firm, smooth and level.
8. When raising the car, it is important that the
jack* or lifting arms are fitted in the intended
points on the car's underbody. The triangle
markings in the plastic cover indicate the
locations of the jacking/lifting points. There
are two jacking points on each side of the
car. There is a recess for the jack at each
point.
Crank up the jack* so that it makes contact
with the car's jacking point. Check that the
head of the jack is correctly positioned in the
jacking point so that the bump in the centre
of the head fits into the jacking point hole
and the base is positioned vertically below
the jacking point. Also make sure you turn
the jack so that the crank is as far away from
the side of the car as possible, at which point
the jack's arms are perpendicular to the
direction of the car.
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised on
the jack.
Passengers must leave the car when it is
raised on the jack. If a wheel must be
changed in a trafficked environment, passen-
gers must stand in a safe place.
9. Lift the car so that the wheel is free. Remove
the wheel bolts and lift off the wheel.
