00...... Raising Vehicle With Trolley Jack (Vehicle Equipped With Jacking Point)

WARNING: Vehicles without jacking points (located in the middle of the front axle carrier) must not be raised or moved with the trolley jack! Use only BMW-distributed/approved trolley jacks which have rubber plate contact points. Trolley jacks must be regularly serviced and always checked for functional reliability before they are used!
