stances should it be used to lift heavy
vehicles or other loads; you risk injuring
yourself.
- Never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised, which could cause an accident .
- Support the vehicle securely with appropri-
ate stands if work is to be performed under-
neath the vehicle; otherwise, there is a po-
tential risk for injury .
- Never use the jack supplied with your Audi
on another vehicle, particularly on a heavier
