250 If and when
Raising the vehicle
In order to remove the wheel, the vehicle must be raised
with a jack.
– Position the vehicle jack under the door sill at the jacking point
closest to the wheel being changed
– Wind up the jack under the jacking point until the claw of the
jack is directly below the vertical rib under the door sill.
– Align the jack so that the arm of the jack fits on the rib under
the door sill

points
An unstable surface under the jack may cause the vehicle to slip off the
jack. Therefore, the jack must be fitted on solid ground offering good sup-
port. Use a large, stable base if necessary. On a hard, slippery surface (such
as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to prevent the jack from slipping.
● Take all precautions so that the base of the jack does not slip. Failure
to do so could result in an accident.
● The vehicle can be damaged if the jack is not applied at the correct
jacking points. There is also a risk of injury since the jack can slip off
suddenly if it is not properly engaged.
