0 2.1 JACKING AND LIFTING
2.1.1. Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed when
raising the vehicle to perform service operations:
0 Whenever possible use a ramp or a pit in preference
to a jack, when working beneath a vehicle.
0 Never rely on a jack to support a vehicle; use axle
stands or blocks under the vehicle jacking points to
provide rigid support.
0 When working beneath a vehicle, chock the wheels in
addition to applying the handbrake.
0 Ensure that the vehicle is standing on firm, level
ground before using the jack
0 Check that any lifting equipment used has adequate
capacity for the load being lifted and is in full working
order.
2.1.2 Jacking Points
The jack provided in the vehicle toolkit engages with jacking
points situated below the body side members, in front of the
rear wheels (Fig.
1) and behind the front wheels (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2
Fig. 3
2.1.3 WheeLFree L i#t
Use of a wheel-free lift is recommended for maintenance operations. Support the vehicle using lifting pads at the four
jacking points (Fig. 3).
