WARNING
Improper use of your vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to fall off the jack leading to serious per‐
sonal injury. To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
Use only jacks approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle. Other jacks might slip, even those ap‐
proved for other Volkswagen models, but not for your vehicle.
Always set up the jack on firm and level ground. The vehicle may slip off the jack if the jack is
resting on soft or sloping ground. If necessary, place a sturdy board under the jack.
On a hard, slippery surface (such as a tiled floor), use an anti-skid rubber mat or something
similar to help prevent the jack from slipping.
Position the jack only at the described vehicle lift points. Before you raise your vehicle, always
make sure the jack claw properly grips the vertical rib under the sill so that the jack does not
slip off when you are raising the vehicle ⇒Fig.197 .
Never have any part of your body (such as your arm or leg) under the vehicle when it is sup‐
ported by the jack. Never let other persons have any part of their body under the vehicle,
