Raise vehicle
You have to raise the vehicle with a lifting jack in order to be able to
take off the wheel.
– Position the lifting jack by selecting the jacking point - lower sill -
which is closest to the wheel to be removed
– Position the lifting jack below the jacking point and move it up until its
claw is positioned directly below the vertical web of the lower sill.
– Align the lifting jack so that its claw grasps the web of the lower sill
and the moving base plate of the jack
ground.
– Turn the lifting jack up further until the wheel is just clear of the
ground.
Ground below the lifting jack which is soft and slippery can cause the vehicle to
slip off the jack. It is therefore always necessary to place the lifting jack on a solid
surface. Use a wide, stable base, if necessary. Use a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber foot
mat) if the surface is smooth, such as cobbled stones, a tiled floor, etc.

Driving Tips
WARNING

Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury.
•
Take suitable measures to prevent the base of the lifting jack from slip-
ping off - risk of injury!
•

Never lie under the vehicle if the vehicle is only lifted with the vehicle
lifting jack.
