Safety information
WARNING
The jack is only intended for raising the vehi-
cle briefly during a wheel change. Even if the
safety measures are complied with, there is
a risk of the raised vehicle falling over due to
the jack slipping. There is a danger of injury
or danger to life. If the vehicle is raised with
the jack, do not lie underneath the vehicle
and do not switch on drive-ready state.
WARNING
Supports such as wooden blocks under the
jack can prevent it from achieving its load ca-
pacity due to the restricted height. The load
capacity of the wooden blocks may be excee-
ded, causing the vehicle to tip over. There is
a danger of injury or danger to life. Do not
place supports under the jack.
WARNING
The jack provided by the vehicle manufac-
turer is intended for changing a wheel in the
event of a breakdown. The jack is not de-
signed for frequent use; for example, chang-
ing from summer to winter tyres. Using the
jack frequently may cause it to become jam-
med or damaged. There is a danger of in-
jury or material damage. Only use the jack
to change an emergency spare wheel or a
spare wheel in case of a breakdown.

Wheels and tyres
WARNING
On soft, uneven or slippery ground, for exam-
ple snow, ice, tiles or similar, the jack may
slip. There is a danger of injury. Change the
wheel on a level, firm and non-slip surface if
at all possible.
WARNING
The jack is only optimised for raising the ve-
hicle and for use with the jacking points on
the vehicle. There is a danger of injury. Do
not lift another vehicle or other loads with the
jack.
WARNING
If the jack has not been guided into the jack-
ing point provided, the vehicle might be dam-
aged when the jack is extended, or the jack
could slip. There is a danger of injury or ma-
terial damage. When extending, make sure
that the jack is guided into the jacking point
adjacent to the wheel arch.
WARNING
A vehicle raised with a jack can fall from
the jack if lateral forces are applied. There
is a danger of injury or material damage. If
the vehicle is raised, do not apply any lat-
eral forces to the vehicle or pull the vehicle
with sudden movements. If the wheel is jam-
med, have it removed by a Service Partner of
the manufacturer or another qualified Service
Partner or a specialist workshop.
