into the jacking point and the movable base plate of the
jack is flat on the ground.

ground.The jack may only be applied at the jacking points shown ⇒fig. 128.
There is one jacking point on each side of the vehicle. Do not apply
the jack anywhere else.

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.
