Improper use of the vehicle jack can cause se-

tighten wheel bolts, since the bolts cannot
attain the necessary tightening torque if you
use the hex head, potentially causing an ac-
cident.
- The factory-supplied jack is intended only
for your vehicle model. Under no circum-
stances should it be used to lift heavy
veh icles or other loads; you risk injuring
yourself.
- Never start the engine when the veh icle is
raised, which could cause an accident.
- Support the vehicle securely with a ppropri-
ate stands if work is to be performed under-
neath the vehicle; otherwise, there is a po-
tential risk for injury .
- Never use the jack supplied with your Audi
on another vehicle, particularly on a heavier
