Always provide a firm base for the jack^* on the ground. (The jack can be found in the Audi Q7 s tool kit). If necessary use a large, strong board or similar support. On a hard, slippery surface (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to prevent the jack from slipping ►.

Locate the marking on the door sill closest to the wheel being changed Fig. 329►. The jacking point is located behind the marking under the door sill.

Wind up the jack^* under the jacking point on the underside of the door sill using the hexagon socket -C- (from the tool kit) until the cylindrical part of the arm -A- Fig. 330► of the jack is below the plastic mount.

Align the jack^* so that the cylindrical part of the arm -A- fits in the plastic mount under the door sill and the base plate of the jack -B- is flat on the ground. The base plate -B- must be positioned vertically underneath the jacking point -A-.

To raise the Audi Q7, insert the correct side of the ratchet handle -D- (from the tool kit) onto the hexagon socket -C-.

Move the ratchet handle -D- back and forth in a clockwise direction until the wheel is clear of the ground.
