Jacking
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.

The rear towing eye is located on the right under the bumper
To raise the vehicle, it is necessary to use a jack installed under the support points of the vehicle body, which are located on the lower beam of the body 13 cm in front and 22 cm behind the corresponding wheel arch.
Warning: If the jack is not placed under the body support, the vehicle body may be damaged. In addition, there is a risk of injury.
Place a jack under the car
The jack leg must tightly cover the vertical edge of the side member so that when the car is raised, the jack cannot slip.
At the same time, the position of the jack should be leveled and the leg of the jack should be raised until it fits snugly against the vertical rib.
Warning: When jacking up on soft ground, the vehicle may fall off the jack. Therefore, it is necessary to put the jack on solid ground. If necessary, a stable and relatively large support should be used.
A lift must be used to lift the vehicle.
To avoid damage to the bottom of the vehicle, be sure to use appropriate rubberized pads.
Warning: In no case should the car be lifted under the oil pan, under the gearbox, under the rear or front axles, otherwise serious damage to components and assemblies may occur.
The support plate of the jack must not touch the mounting plate of the trailing arm, otherwise the steering may be damaged.
Before entering the lift, make sure that there is sufficient distance between the low points of the vehicle and the lift elements.
Support points for lift and garage lift
- In front of the vertical stiffener of the lower beam.
- Behind the vertical stiffener of the lower beam in the area of the embossed marking.
The stiffener of the lower beam must lie in the middle on the base plate of the hoist.

10. Without oil in the manual transmission and, accordingly, in the AT, the car may only be towed with the drive wheels raised.
11. The use of a tow bar is recommended. The cable must be elastic, which contributes to the preservation of the towing and towed vehicles. Only plastic cables or cables with elastic intermediate links should be used.
Vehicles with AT
Set the selector to position "N" The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h!
The maximum towing distance is 50 km!.
12. For long distances, the vehicle must be towed with the front wheels raised or loaded onto a carrier.
Warning: To prevent damage to the manual transmission, do not transport the car by partially loading the rear part with rotating drive wheels.

Refer to subsection Four-wheel drive.
Starting the car by towing (emergency start)
Towing launch (starting the engine by moving the car) for vehicles with AT is not possible.
Before starting the engine by towing the vehicle, it is recommended to use the battery of another vehicle to start.
Warning: When the petrol engine is hot, the vehicle may not be towed more than 50 m, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the catalytic converter.
