be removed 199. The jacking point is located directly below the engraving in the
lower sill.
– 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

– 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
or use a wide and stable base. Use a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the
surface is smooth, such as cobbled stones, a tiled floor, etc.
WARNING

Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury!

Take suitable measures to prevent the base of the lifting jack from slipping
off - risk of injury!
