Operating the jack
Slot the two parts of the jack lever together,
ensuring that the spring clip protrudes from
the engagement slot where the two parts join
(see inset ’A’). Close the jack release valve by
using the notched end of the jack lever to turn
the valve fully clockwise (see inset ’B’). Insert
the lever into the socket as shown (inset ’C’)
and twist the lever to lock it onto the socket.
Pump the lever up and down to raise the jack.
To lower the jack, withdraw the lever and slot
the notched end over the pegs on the release
valve. Slowly turn the release valve
anti-clockwise, allowing the weight of the
vehicle to lower the jack.
WARNING
• Ensure the jack is positioned on firm,
level ground.
• DO NOT use the jack to raise the vehicle
until you have carefully read and
understood ’Positioning the jack’ later in
this section. If in doubt, consult your
dealer.
• Care must be taken to avoid accidental
contact with any underbody parts,
especially the hot exhaust system
components, likely to cause personal
injury during raising or lowering of the
vehicle.
• Ensure that the space under and around
the vehicle is free from obstruction as it
is lowered.
