– Now fit the crank handle onto the jack by inserting it
in the opening on the knob ⇒page 290, fig. 274. Turn the
crank handle clockwise or anti-clockwise to secure it in
place.
– Raise the vehicle by winding the crank handle until the
defective wheel is clear of the ground.Recesses at the front and rear of the door sills mark the jacking
points ⇒page 290, fig. 273. There is one jacking point for each
wheel. The distance from the jacking points to the wheel arches is
approximately 20 cm at the front and 40 cm at the rear. The jack may
only be applied at the seam of the jacking points shown.
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 large, strong board or similar support. On a hard,
slippery surface (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to prevent
the jack from slipping.

The car can be damaged if the jack is not applied at the correct
jacking points. There is also a risk of injury since the jack can slip
off suddenly if it is not properly engaged.
