NEVER get under a car when it is supported only by a jack.
• Before raising the car with a jack:
- Turn off the engine;
- Firmly apply the parking brake;
- Engage first or reverse gear;
- Securely chock all wheels not to be lifted.
• Use only those lifting points identified below. Jacking on
any part of the body, or with a jack improperly positioned,
may damage the chassis or body structure and/or jeopardise
safety.
The reduced ground clearance concomitant with a deflated
tire, and the consequent reduced visibility, demands that extra
vigilance be excercised to position the jack only under the areas
shown in the illustration. If available, use suitable rubber or
timber pads to protect the chassis from surface damage:
