DANGER

Park the vehicle in a position where it does not obstruct or endanger yourself or traffic.

Park the vehicle so that it does not obstruct traffic or put you at risk, and place the warning triangle.

Make sure the vehicle is on a level, firm surface with the front wheels pointing straight ahead.

Switch off the ignition and apply the parking brake.

If the vehicle has a manual gearbox, select first or reverse gear. If the vehicle has an automatic gearbox, put the selector in Park (P).

Make sure all passengers have exited the vehicle.

Chock the diagonally opposite wheel with a suitable wheel chock or wedge.

Never place any part of your body under a vehicle supported by a jack.

Make sure the jack is vertical at the lifting point and that the base is resting on level ground.

Note: The spare wheel is located under the floor cover in the luggage compartment.

Note: Do not place alloy wheels face down on the ground as this will damage the paint.
