Volkswagen Jetta Wagon 2004 Owner's Manual page 425

• Position the vehicle jack under
the vehicle:
The illustration shows the jack positioned
on the left rear side.
~WARNING
An unstable surface under the jack
may cause the vehicle to slip off
the jack. Always provide a firm
base for the jack on the ground. If
necessary, use a sturdy board un-
der the jack.
- Place the jack exactly under the position-
ing point on the rocker panel so that the
spacer touches the rocker panel- see il-
lustration.
- Turn the handle on the jack until the jack
claw is just underneath the veh icle.
TIPS AND ADVICE
- The jack claw must cradle the ver-
tical rib underneath the vehicle so
that it cannot slip when the ve-
hicle is lifted - see illustration.
- Place a sturdy board under t he jack if you
are parked on soft ground.
~WARNING
To help prevent injury to yourself
and your passengers.
• Do not raise the vehicle until
you are sure the jack is securely
engaged.
• Passengers must not remain in
the vehicle when it is jacked up.
• Make sure that passengers wait
in a safe place away from the ve-
hicle and well away from the road-
way and traffic.
• Make sure jack position is cor-
rect, adjust as necessary and then
continue to raise the jack.
• To raise t he vehicle, turn the handle
clockwise. Only raise the vehicle as much
as is needed to change a wheel.
