•Always read and heed the operating instructions from the lifting platform or vehicle jack
manufacturer and any legal regulations before lifting the vehicle.
•All occupants should leave the vehicle before it is lifted.
•The vehicle should only be lifted at the points indicated in the illustrations ⇒ Fig. 137 and

•The vehicle jacking points must be placed on the centre of the vehicle lift support surfaces,
with as much surface contact between the vehicle and the support surfaces as possible.
•Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised. The vibration of the engine could cause
the vehicle to fall off the lifting point.
•If work has to be carried out underneath the lifted vehicle, secure the vehicle with suitable
jack stands with a sufficient load-bearing capacity.
•Never climb up the lifting platform.
•Always ensure that the vehicle is not heavier than the lifting capacity of the lifting platform.
WARNING

Checklist
To ensure your own safety and that of your passengers, observe the following actions in the
specified order ⇒:
Incorrectly tightened wheel bolts can loosen while the vehicle is in motion and cause
accidents, serious injury, and loss of control of the vehicle.
•Only use wheel bolts that belong to the wheel.
•Never use different wheel bolts.
•The wheel bolts and threads of the wheel hubs must be clean, free from oil and grease,
and turn easily.
•Always use the box spanner placed in the vehicle at the factory to loosen and tighten the
wheel bolts.
•Only loosen the wheel bolts by approximately one turn before raising the vehicle with the
vehicle jack.
•Never grease or lubricate the wheel bolts or the threads of the wheel hub. This could
cause them to loosen while the vehicle is in motion, even if the required torque setting is
used.
•Never remove the bolts on rims with bolted-on rings.
•If the tightening torque of the wheel bolts is too low, the wheel bolts and rims can loosen
while the vehicle is in motion. The wheel bolts and threads can be damaged if the
tightening torque is too high.
