cranking up the vehicle jack, ensure that it is in‐
serted in the jacking point next to the wheel

may fall off of the jack if lateral forces are ex‐
erted on it. There is a risk of injury and risk of
damage to property. While the vehicle is raised,
do not exert lateral forces on the vehicle or pull
abruptly on the vehicle. Have a stuck wheel re‐
moved by a dealer’s service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.
