Precautions: If you need to work under the car, it must be securely supported by stands, but in no case should it be supported only by a jack. It's life-threatening!
Raise and support the car only in an unloaded state on a flat, dense surface.
Wheels that remain on the ground when the vehicle is lifted must be supported with a wedge to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Do not rely on the parking brake, because. it must be released for some types of repairs.
Support the vehicle with jack stands so that one of the side legs of the jack stands points outward.
Attention: In order not to damage the underbody, place a suitable rubber or wooden stand under the jack head. In no case should the car be lifted by supporting the power unit, front or rear axles, because. they can be seriously damaged.
Places for lifting and propping up the car
Car jack
The jacking points are marked on the lower beams (rapids) grooves (arrows).
Place the jack under these recesses, while the protrusion on the channel should enter the recess of the jack. The protrusion in the recess of the jack must enter the notch on the channel.
Spin the jack handle until the wheel is off the ground. Support the car with stands.
