LIFTING
VEHICLE
The vehicle should
never
be lifted or
jacked
up from underneath the engine
oil
pan, the transmission housing, or the
front
or rear axle.
This
could lead to serious damage.
The same lifting points as illustrated for the hoist also apply when using a floor jack. To
avoid damage to the underbody or chassis
frame,
it is necessary to insert a rubber pad between the floor jack and the lift
points.
Lifting
with workshop hoist
and with floor jack
Make
sure there is sufficient clearance
between pads and vehicle before driving
vehicle on to hoist.
WARNING
When removing components such as engine block, transmission housing,
fuel
tank, wheels,
front
or rear axle, anchor vehicle to hoist or add corre
sponding weights to maintain the cen
ter of
gravity.
Otherwise the vehicle
might tilt or slip off the hoist, causing
serious damage or personal
injury.
•
To reduce the risk of serious perso
nal
injury
and vehicle damage, lift
vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and floor jack lift points illustra
ted.
Failure to lift vehicle at these points could cause the vehicle to tilt or
fall
from a lift when, for example,
heavy
components such as the engine block
or transmission are removed result
ing
in a change in vehicle weight and
balance.
•
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.
