To ensure your own safety and the safety of your passengers, observe the following points in the order given :
WARNING
- Only use vehicle jacks which have been approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle type. Other jacks could slip out of place – this includes jacks supplied with other Volkswagen models.
- The ground must be flat and firm. Soft ground or surfaces at an incline under the jack may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. If necessary use a large, strong board or similar support for the vehicle jack.
- On a hard, slippery surface (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to prevent the jack from slipping.
- Fit the jack only at the points described. The jack claw must grip the vertical rib under the sill securely .
- Never place any part of your body (e.g. 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.
- Never lift the vehicle if it is at an angle to one side or the engine is running.
- Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised on a jack. The vibration of the engine could cause the vehicle to fall off the vehicle jack.
WARNING
- Follow the instructions in the checklist and observe the general safety procedures.
