Jacking up with a car jack
To jack up the front of the vehicle, apply the parking brake and, for safety, place wedges under the rear wheels.
When jacking up the rear of the vehicle, shift into gear and place wedges under the front wheels.
Place secure supports under the sides of the body. If one side rises first, and then the other, it is imperative to monitor the reliability of the supports.
Towing
Installing the legs of the lift
Towing eye
The towing eye is located on the right under the bumper.
When towing, the parking brake must be fully released and the transmission in neutral. Transfer case lever in position "2H".
Steering shaft must be unlocked (key in position "Off"). Remember that when the engine is off, the power steering system and the vacuum brake booster do not function.
Avoid towing another vehicle that is hooked to the front towing eye and never use the vehicle tie-down lugs on the ferry deck or railway platform to secure the towline.
Traffic safety is one of the main requirements when towing a car, so strictly follow the traffic rules while towing. When towing any vehicle in many countries, it is mandatory to use a safety chain.
