p

ositioned   at   one   of   the   vehicle's  
j

acking   points.
Incorrect
  use   of   the   jack   could   cause  
t

l

ifting   the   vehicle,
-
 
a
  jack   other   than   the   one   supplied  
b

y   the   manufacturer. The
  jack   must   only   be   used   to   change   a  
w

heel   with   a   damaged   tyre.
The   jack   does   not   require   any  m
aintenance.
The
  jack   conforms   to   European
