Hoisting the vehicle
Note
Important
If a jack is provided with your vehicle, it is intended to be used only in temporary situations such as changing wheels in the event of a flat tire. Only the jack that came with your particular model should be used to lift the vehicle. If the vehicle needs to be lifted more frequently, or for a longer period of time than for a wheel change, a garage jack or hoist is recommended. Always follow this device's instructions for use.
When not in use, the jack should be kept in its storage compartment under the cargo compartment floor. Crank the jack to the correct position so that it fits.
Warning
- Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the Park (P) position.
- Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
- Check that the jack is not damaged, that the threads are properly lubricated and that it is free from dirt.
- Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-slippery surface and that it is upright and not leaning.
- The jack must correctly engage in the jack attachment.
- No objects should be placed between the base of jack and the ground, or between the jack and the attachment bar on the vehicle.
- Never let anyone remain in the vehicle when it is raised on a jack.
- If a tire must be changed near passing traffic, make sure all passengers move to a safe location.
- Use a jack intended for the vehicle when changing a tire. For any other job, use stands to support the vehicle.
- Never crawl under the vehicle and never stretch any part of your body under the vehicle when it is raised using a jack.
Warning
When not in use, the jack should be kept in its storage compartment.
Turn on the vehicle's hazard warning flashers if e.g. a wheel change must be performed in an area with traffic.
Position the jack or garage lift arms at the designated points under the vehicle. The triangle markings on the plastic cover indicate where the jack attachment points/lifting points are located. There are two jack attachment points on each side of the vehicle. There is a groove for the jack at each attachment point.
