large stones.
Check that the jack is not damaged,

that the threads are thoroughly lubri-
cated and that it is free from dirt.
Check that the jack is resting on a firm,
•
level surface that is not slippery and is
not slanted.
The jack must be correctly attached in

the jack's bracket.
Never position anything between the
•
ground and the jack, nor between the

WARNING
If the car is raised using a workshop jack,
this must be placed beneath one of the
four jacking points. Take care to position
the workshop jack so that the car cannot
slip off. Make sure that the jack plate is fit-
ted with a rubber guard so that the car
remains stable and is not damaged. Always
use axle stands or similar.
When not in use, the jack* should be stored in
its stowage space under the cargo area floor.
Read through all instructions before begin-
ning. Take out the tools needed before jacking
up the car.
1. Set up the warning triangle and activate
the hazard warning lights if, for example, a
tyre is being changed in a trafficked loca-
tion.
2. Apply the parking brake and engage gear
position P, or engage first gear if the car
has a manual gearbox.
Leveling
If the car is equipped with
Control *, this must be disabled before the
car is raised.
3. Chock in front of and behind the wheels
that remain on the ground. Use, for exam-
ple, heavy wooden blocks or large stones.
4. Position the jack or the lift arms at the
designated spots of the car's undercar-
riage. The triangle markings in the plastic
cover indicate the locations of the jacking/
lifting points. There are two jacking points
on each side of the car. There is a recess
for the jack at each point.
5. Position the jack on level, firm and non-
slippery ground under the jacking point
that will be used.
6. Crank up until it is correctly aligned and so
that it makes contact with the car's jack-
ing point. Check that the head of the jack
(or lifting arms at a workshop) is correctly
positioned in the jacking point so that the
bump in the centre of the head fits into the
jacking point hole, and check that the
base of the jack is positioned vertically
below the jacking point.
