Vehicle tool kit and emergency equipment

The jack and the vehicle tool kit are located in the footwell on the co-driver's side, underneath the floor cover.

Risk of injury

  • The jack is designed only to raise the vehicle for a short time, e.g. while a wheel is being changed.

    It is not suitable for raising and holding the vehicle so that work can be carried out underneath it.

  • The surface on which the jack is standing must be firm and level.

  • Never change a wheel on uphill or downhill gradients.

  • Never lie under the raised vehicle.

  • Make sure that nobody is in the vehicle when it is raised.

  • Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised.

  • Make sure that the distance between the underside of the tyres and the ground is not greater than 30 mm.

  • If you intend to work under the vehicle, place the vehicle on stands.
