WARNING
Never position anything between the
ground and the jack, nor between the jack
and the car's jacking point.
8. There are two jacking points on each side
of the car. Wind up the jack so that the
flange in the bodywork ends up in the
notch in the head of the jack.
IMPORTANT
The ground must be firm, smooth and
level.
9. Lift the car so that the wheel is free.
Remove the wheel bolts and lift off the
wheel.
WARNING
Never crawl under the car when it is raised
on the jack.
Passengers must leave the car when it is
raised on the jack. If a wheel must be
changed in a trafficked environment, pas-
sengers must stand in a safe place.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for
occasional, short-term use, such as when
changing a wheel after a puncture, chang-
ing to winter/summer wheels, etc. Only the
jack for the specific car model may be
used to raise the car. If the car is to be
jacked up more often, or for a longer time
than is required just to change a wheel,
use of a garage jack is recommended. In
this instance, follow the instructions for
use that come with the equipment.
