to a point where they are not exposed to
risk, for example behind a crash barrier at
the side of the road. If necessary, set up the
warning triangle or a flashing w arning light
at a sufficient distance to the rear. Comply
with relevant local laws.
Only change wheels on flat, firm and non-
slip surface. On a soft or low-grip surface
(snow, ice, tiles or similar) there is a risk of
the car or the jack sliding sideways.
Position the car's jack on a firm surface.
Never place wood blocks or similar under
the jack, or the maximum lifting capacity
may be exceeded due to the restricted
height.
When the car is jacked up, do not lie under
it or start the engine, as this could lead to a
potentially fatal accident.
