Before raising the vehicle, secure it from
R
rolling away by applying the parking brake
and inserting wheel chocks. Do not disen-
gage the parking brake while the vehicle is
raised.
The jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
R
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a
large, flat, load-bearing underlay must be
used. On a slippery surface, a non-slip
underlay must be used, e.g. rubber mats.
Do not use wooden blocks or similar
R
objects as a jack underlay. Otherwise, the
jack will not be able to achieve its load-
bearing capacity due to the restricted
height.
Make sure that the distance between the
R
underside of the tires and the ground does
not exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).
Never place your hands and feet under the
