The jack (certain models) and tools should be returned to their correct storage places after use. The jack must correctly engage the jack attachment. Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, nonslippery surface. Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a car supported by a jack. Use the jack intended for the car when changing a tire. For any other job, use stands to support the car. Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the Park (P) position or reverse on models with a manual transmission. Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones. The jack should be kept well-greased and clean, and should not be damaged.

WARNING The jack and any tools should always be returned to their proper storage compartments after use to help keep them securely in place in the event of sudden braking, etc. Returning the jack to its storage space • • • 07 182 G029335
