Jacking up
To jack up the front of the car, you should set the parking brake and, for safety, place wedges under the rear wheels.
When jacking up the rear of the vehicle, it is necessary to engage the gear and place wedges under the front wheels.
Place reliable supports under the sides of the body. If one side rises first and then the other, it is necessary to ensure that the supports are reliable.
When jacking up a vehicle, place wooden blocks under the jack foot or support.

Towing
Towing eye for the front of the vehicle.
Towing eye at the rear of the vehicle.
Towing a vehicle on all four wheels may be performed at a speed not exceeding the maximum permitted by traffic regulations. Towing eyes are located at the front and rear of the vehicle.
When towing a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission, the front wheels must be off the ground. In this case, a special towing device must be used to grab the vehicle, which is attached not to the bumper, but to the main frame beam.
When towing, the parking brake must be fully released and the transmission must be in neutral.
The steering shaft must be unlocked (key in position "M"). Remember that when the engine is off, the power steering system and the brake booster do not function.
Avoid towing another vehicle with the front towing eyes attached.
Traffic safety is one of the main requirements when towing a car, so strictly follow the traffic rules when towing.
