How to Operate a Volkswagen Jack?
2 Answers
The operation method of a Volkswagen jack: Park the vehicle on a flat and solid ground, and engage the handbrake. Locate the reserved jack support points on the vehicle chassis and place the jack directly beneath them. Use the jack handle to slowly turn the jack screw clockwise. Ensure the jack is correctly aligned with the support points and continue turning the screw to lift the vehicle. To lower the vehicle, turn the screw counterclockwise. The car jack, like the spare tire, is stored in the vehicle's trunk. Open the trunk's partition to find it. When using the jack, always remember to keep it level, stable, and slow. Never crawl under the vehicle while the jack is in use, as it poses significant hazards. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. The group's passenger car business is divided into two major brands: Volkswagen and Audi.
I'm very familiar with operating the Volkswagen jack because I change tires frequently. First, park the car on level ground and engage the handbrake—it's best not to release it. Then, find something hard to use as a wheel chock behind the tire; preventing slippage is crucial. Next, crawl under the car to locate the jacking points—those raised metal spots on the chassis, which are clearly marked on Volkswagen models. Place the jack securely on the point and slowly turn the handle clockwise until the wheel is slightly off the ground, being careful not to lift too high. To lower the car, turn the handle counterclockwise gently to avoid damaging anything. Remember: the jack is only for temporary support—never crawl under the car for major work without using safety stands for tire changes or repairs. Regularly check the jack's screws for rust and keep it clean and functional.
