̈ Position jack 2 on firm ground under
the respective jack take-up bracket 1.
Make sure the foot of the jack is directly
under the take-up bracket so that it is al-
ways vertical (plumb-line) as seen from the
side, even if the vehicle is parked on an in-
cline.
̈ Turn crank 3 until the tire is a maxi-
mum of 1.2 in (3 cm) off the ground.
Never start engine while vehicle is
raised.

G
Position the jack only on the jack take-up
brackets designed for this purpose.
If the jack is not properly positioned, the ve-
hicle may slip off of the jack.
Warning!

The jack is intended only for lifting the vehi-
cle briefly for wheel changes. It is not suited
for performing maintenance work under the
vehicle. Never lie down under the raised ve-
hicle. Do not start the engine when the vehi-
cle is raised.
