ARNING Risk of injury from jack tipping
If you park a vehicle with air suspension, the
air suspension may remain activated for up to
one hour, even when the ignition is switched
o . If you then raise the vehicle with the jack,
the air suspension will attempt to adjust the
vehicle level.
The jack may tip.
Press the Service button on the air sus-
#
pension remote control before raising the
vehicle.
This prevents automatic readjustment of
the vehicle level and prevents it from
being raised or lowered manually.

If you do not position the jack correctly at the
appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack could tip with the vehicle raised.

nance work under the vehicle.
Avoid changing a wheel on uphill and downhill
slopes.
The jack must be placed on a rm, at and
non-slip surface. If necessary, use a large, at,
load bearing and non-slip underlay.
