# Vehicle lifting procedure

For your own safety, carry out the following points in the specified order:

1. Choose a firm and level surface suitable for lifting the vehicle.  
2. Adjust the steering wheel so that the wheels point straight forwards.  
3. Deactivate the vehicle's drive system and switch off the ignition.  
4. Switch on the electronic parking brake.  
5. Check the wheel diagonally opposite using collapsible chocks or other suitable objects.  
6. Loosening wheel bolts.  
7. Insert the hand crank into the opening on the jack.  
8. Find the jacking point under the vehicle which is closest to the wheel that is being changed.  
9. Crank up the jack until it just fits under the jacking point of the vehicle.  
10. Make sure that the entire surface of the foot of the jack is resting securely on the ground and that the foot of the jack is positioned vertically directly beneath the jacking point.  
11. Position the jack and simultaneously continue to crank the claw up until it is in position around the jacking point underneath the vehicle.  
12. Crank the jack further until the wheel is just clear of the ground.

# WARNING

Incorrect use of the vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to slip off the jack, which can lead to severe injuries. Please note the following to help reduce the risk of injuries:

Never jack up the vehicle if more than one tyre is damaged. Never jack up the vehicle when the vehicle's drive system is activated or if the vehicle is tilted to the side or on a gradient. Never activate the vehicle's drive system when the vehicle is jacked up. Fit the jack only at the described jacking points. The jack claw must grip the vertical rib under the side member securely. Never fit the vehicle jack on the high- voltage battery. The ground must be firm and level. Soft ground or surfaces at an incline under the vehicle jack may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. If necessary, use a large, strong board or similar support for the jack. To prevent the jack from slipping, place the jack on an anti- slip surface such as a rubber mat when it is used on a slippery surface such as tiles.

- Never place any part of your body, such as an arm or leg, underneath the vehicle if the latter is only supported by the jack.- If you have to work underneath the vehicle, use suitable stands to provide extra support for the vehicle.
