programmed to be in automatic mode;
switch off the ignition and with a manual
gearbox, engage first gear so as to lock
the wheels.

ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or drop – risk of injury!
Position the jack strictly at one of the
jacking points, A or B, under the vehicle,
ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area on the
vehicle. Other wise, there is a
risk of
damage to the vehicle and/or the jack
collapsing – risk of injury!
