and non-slippery surface. The
front wheels must be in the
straight-ahead position.

engage first gear or reverse gear.

wheels in case of puncture, not
for a seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.
● If the ground on which the vehicle
is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be
placed under the jack.
● Remove heavy objects out of the
vehicle before jacking up.

the vehicle when it is jacked-up.
