6. Crank the jack further until the wheel is

WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this impor-
tant sa
fety checklist can lead to acci-
dents and severe injuries.
·
Always follow the actions in the check-
list.
·
Observe the generally valid safety pre-
cautions.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the vehicle jack can cause
the vehicle to slip o the jack, which can
lead to serious or fatal injuries.
·
Never jack up the vehicle if more than
one wheel is damaged.
·
Never jack up the vehicle when the en-
gine is running.
·
Never start the engine when the vehicle
is jacked up. Engine vibrations can
cause the vehicle to fall o the vehicle
jack.
·
Fit the jack only at the described jacking
points. The jack claw must grip the ver-
tical rib under the door sill securely
→ Fig. 224.
·
Use only jacks that have been approved
for your vehicle. Other jacks could slip
out of place – this includes jacks sup-
plied with other models.
·
Jack up the vehicle only on a flat and
stable surface. So ground or surfaces
at an incline under the vehicle jack may
cause the vehicle to slip o the jack. If
necessary, use a large, strong board or
similar support for the jack.
·
Use an anti-slip underlay, such as a rub-
ber mat, to prevent the jack from slip-
ping on a slippery surface (e.g. a tiled
floor).
·
Never place any part of your body (e.g.
an arm) underneath a vehicle only sup-
ported by the jack. If you have to work
underneath the vehicle, use suitable
stands to provide extra support for the
vehicle.
