If there is no need to remove the wheels, the car can be driven into a viewing hole or overpass.
Never place the jack under vehicle sills, oil pan, floor panels or directly under steering or suspension components!
Do not carry out any repairs under the vehicle, which is secured in a raised position with a single jack! Be sure to use reliable props!
For jacking up, the car should be parked on a flat, level surface, if possible with a hard surface. If there is the slightest slope, take precautions against rolling away: support the wheel located diagonally from the one to be removed with wheel chocks, firmly cock the parking brake, engage reverse gear (RKPP), or move the selector lever to the position "R" (AT). Try not to move far from the jacked up car, especially if there are children nearby.
When changing wheels, before jacking up the vehicle, remove the trim cap and use a wheelbrace to loosen the wheel nuts on the wheel to be changed. Prepare a spare.
On some models, the cap is attached to the rim with wheel nuts, which at this stage should only be loosened!
Get the jack under the car: the rear jacking points are located at the rear edges of the door gutters, when the front end is jacked up, the jack starts under the subframe.
Take care of the reliability of the engagement of the head of the jack. Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be replaced is off the ground by turning the jack handle. Having thrown off the fixing nuts, remove the wheel and install a spare in its place. Install the wheel nuts, then lower the vehicle to the ground, remove the jack and tighten the wheel nuts diagonally to the required torque. Replace the cap. Fold up and put away the tool. Don't forget to remove the wheel chocks.
When jacking up the vehicle in order to fix it in a raised position for more serious repairs than changing a wheel, the head of the hydraulic jack should be placed under the front mid-beam and / or under the bracket attached to the rear floor panel. In order to distribute the load between the head of the jack and the surface of the jacking point, a wooden block should be laid.
Never place the jack under the beam of the rear floor panel! Supports are brought under regular front and rear jacking points (see above).
