each side of the vehicle. Position the jack
under the attachment point to be used on a
level, firm, non-slippery surface and crank it

cle, check that the jack is still correctly posi-
tioned in the attachment.

changed is lifted off the ground.
9. Unscrew the wheel nuts completely and
remove the wheel.
WARNING
•
The jack must correctly engage the jack
attachment.
•
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface.
•
Never allow any part of your body to be
extended under a vehicle supported by a
jack.
•
Use the jack intended for the vehicle
when changing a tire. For any other job,
use stands to support the vehicle.
•
Apply the parking brake and put the gear
selector in the Park (P) position.
•
Block the wheels standing on the ground,
use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
•
The jack should be kept well-greased and
clean, and should not be damaged.
•
No objects should be placed between the
base of jack and the ground, or between
the jack and the attachment bar on the
vehicle.
NOTE
The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary situa-
tions such as changing wheels in the event of
a flat tire. Only the jack that came with your
particular model should be used to lift the
vehicle. If the vehicle needs to be lifted more
frequently or for a prolonged period, using a
garage jack or hoist is recommended. Always
follow this device’s instructions for use.
