●
Place the jack* (vehicle tools) on firm
gr
ou
nd. If
necessary use a large, strong
board or similar support. If the surface is slip-
pery (for example tiles) place the jack on a
rubber mat or similar to prevent it from slip-

area) closest to the wheel to be changed

lightly lifted off the ground.
WARNING
●
Make s
ure that the jack* remains stable. If
the surface is slippery or soft, the jack* could
slip or sink, respectively, with the resultant
risk of injury.
●
Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-
plied by the manufacturer. Other vehicles
could slip, with the consequent risk of injury.
●
Only mount the jack* on the support points
designed for this purpose on the strut, and
always align the jack correctly. If you do not,
the jack* could slip as it does not have an ad-
equate grip on the vehicle: risk of injury!
●
The height of the parked vehicle can
change as a result of variations in tempera-
ture and loading.
CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the cross-
bar. On
ly place the jack* on the points de-
signed for this purpose on the strut. Other-
wise, the vehicle may be damaged.

bolts and r
aising the vehicle with the jack.
