Fig. 234 Front lifting point
Fig. 235 Rear lifting point
- Read and heed WARNING.
- Locate lifting points > fig. 234 and > fig. 235.
- Adjust lifting arms of workshop hoist or floor
jack to match vehicle lifting points.
- Insert a rubber pad between the floor jack/
workshop hoist and the Lifting points.
If you must lift your vehicle with a floor jack to
work underneath, be sure the vehicle is safely
supported on stands intended for this purpose.
Front lifting point
The lifting point is located on the floor pan reinforcement
about at the same level as the jack
mounting point > fig. 234. Do not lift the vehicle
at the vertical sill reinforcement.
Rear lifting point
The lifting point is located on the vertical reinforcement
of the lower sill for the onboard jack > fig. 235.
WARNING
- To reduce the risk of serious injury and vehicle
damage.
- Always lift the vehicle only at the special
workshop hoist and floor jack lift points illustrated
> fig. 234 and > fig. 235.
- Failure to lift the vehicle at these points
could cause the vehicle to tilt or fall from
a lift if there is a change in vehicle weight
distribution and balance. This might happen,
for example, when heavy components such as the engine block or
transmission are removed.
- When removing heavy components like these, anchor vehicle to hoist
or add corresponding weights to maintain the center of gravity. Otherwise,
the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoist, causing serious personal
injury.
Note
- Be aware of the following points before lifting the vehicle:
- The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from
underneath the engine oil pan, the transmission housing, the front or
rear axle or the body side members. This could lead to serious damage.
- To avoid damage to the underbody or chassis frame, a rubber
pad must be inserted between the floor jack and the lift points.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist, check that the vehicle
weight does not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the hoist.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist, ensure that there is
sufficient clearance between the hoist and low parts of the vehicle.
