WARNING!
To avoid the risk of serious or fatal injuries or vehicle
damage, please bear the following points in mind:
 The jack is intended only for raising the vehicle
briefly, for instance, when changing a wheel. If it is
not designed to enable work to be carried out
underneath the vehicle.
Do not crawl under the jacked-up vehicle. For work
under the vehicle, stands must be used.
 The jack must be placed on a firm, flat surface only.
 Do not change wheels on uphill or downhill
gradients under any circumstances.
 Make sure that no persons are present in the vehicle
when jacking up the vehicle.
 Do not start the engine while the vehicle is raised.
 Make sure that the distance between the underside
of the tires and the ground does not exceed 1.2 in (30
mm). Otherwise the vehicle may tip over.
