WARNING
Never position anything between the ground
and the jack, nor between the jack and the
car's jacking point.
6. 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.
7. 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, passen-
gers must stand in a safe place.
NOTE
The normal car jack is only designed for occa-
sional, short-term use, such as when chang-
ing a wheel after a puncture, changing to win-
ter/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 rec-
ommended. In this instance, follow the
instructions for use that come with the equip-
ment.
