Vehicle jack

The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended to
be used in an emergency, for changing a tyre. Do
NOT use the jack for any other purpose. Refer to
Owner’s Manual for vehicle jack location points and
procedure. Never work under a vehicle supported by
the vehicle jack.

Hydraulic jack

A hydraulic jack with a minimum 1500 kg, 3,300 lbs
load capacity must be used, see illustration J6083.

CAUTION: Do not commence work on the
underside of the vehicle until suitable axle
stands have been positioned under the

axle, see J6084.
