WARNING
  • Use the jack only for changing wheels.
  • Never lift the vehicle on a slope.
  • Never lift the vehicle with the jack placed anywhere other than under the flange on the body side member near the wheel being changed.
  • Make sure the jack is raised at least 5 cm before it contacts the flange on the side member. Using the jack when it is extended less than 5 cm from its fully collapsed position may cause it to fail.
  • Never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
  • Do not start the engine with the vehicle raised, and never allow passengers to remain in it.
