Jacking the vehicle and
wheel changing
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm and
non-skid surface. The front wheels
must be in the straight-ahead position.
● Apply the parking brake and engage
first gear, reverse gear or P.
● Place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be
changed.
● If the ground on which the vehicle is
standing is soft, a solid board (approx.
1 cm thick) should be placed under the
jack.
● Take heavy objects out of the vehicle
before jacking up.
● No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked up.
● Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
● Do not start the vehicle when it is
raised on the jack.
