WARNING
If the jack has not been guided into the jack-
ing point provided, the vehicle might be dam-
aged when the jack is extended, or the jack
could slip. There is a danger of injury or ma-
terial damage. When extending, make sure
that the jack is guided into the jacking point
adjacent to the wheel arch.
WARNING
A vehicle raised with a jack can fall from the
jack if lateral forces are applied. There is a
danger of injury or material damage. If the
vehicle is raised, do not apply any lateral
forces to the vehicle or pull the vehicle with
sudden movements. If the wheel is jammed,
have it removed by an authorised Service
Partner or another qualified Service Partner
or a specialist workshop.
WARNING
If handled incorrectly, the jack can damage
the vehicle underbody and consequently ex-
pose high-voltage components. There is a
danger of injury or material damage. When
extending, make sure that the jack is guided
into the jacking point adjacent to the wheel
arch. Ensure that no parts of the underbody
trim are damaged.
