1. Insert the hand crank into the opening on the jack.
2. Find the jacking point under the vehicle → Fig. 1 which is closest to the wheel that is being changed.
3. Crank up the jack until it just fits under the jacking point of the vehicle.
4. Make sure that the entire surface of the foot of the jack is resting securely on the ground and that the foot of the jack is
positioned vertically directly beneath the jacking point → Fig. 2 and → Fig. 3.
5. Position the jack and simultaneously continue to crank the claw up until it is in position around the jacking point underneath the
vehicle → Fig. 3.
6. Crank the jack further until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe injuries.
● Always observe the items on the checklist.
● Observe the generally valid safety precautions.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to slip off the jack, which can lead to serious or fatal injury.
● Never jack up the vehicle if more than one wheel is damaged.
● Never jack up the vehicle when the engine is running.
● Never start the engine when the vehicle is jacked up. Engine vibrations can cause the vehicle to fall off the jack.
● Fit the jack only at the described jacking points. The jack claw must grip the vertical rib under the side member securely → Fig. 3.
● Use only vehicle jacks that have been approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle. Other vehicle jacks could slip out of position – this
includes vehicle jacks supplied with other Volkswagen models.
● Jack up the vehicle only on a flat and firm surface. Soft ground or surfaces at an incline under the vehicle jack may cause the
vehicle to slip off the jack. If necessary, use a large, strong board or similar support for the jack.
● Use a non-slip base such as a rubber mat to prevent the jack from slipping on a smooth surface, such as a tiled floor.
● Never place any part of your body, e.g. your arm, 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.
