5.1 The car jack is installed only at certain points. The same applies to the car lift.
5.2 The rear of the vehicle may be jacked up as shown in the figure, but under no circumstances in the middle of the rear axle.
To avoid damage to the underside of the vehicle, both the jack and various lifts must be installed only under the areas of the body specifically designed for them. Under no circumstances should the jack be installed under the front wheel suspension bracket or under the middle of the rear axle. When lifting the front of the vehicle, a wooden block must be placed between the jack head and the body and the jack must be installed under the front auxiliary frame, located directly behind the front crossmember.
The rear of the vehicle is jacked up as shown in Illustration 5.1. It can also be raised as shown in Illustration 5.2. The head of the vehicle jack is then positioned under the suspension.
When lifting the vehicle, be careful not to damage any body parts. Before attempting to lift the rear of the vehicle, place the gearshift lever in reverse or 1st gear on manual transmission models, or in park on automatic transmission models, to prevent the vehicle from rolling off the lift. When lifting the front of the vehicle, apply the parking brake. The rear wheels should be blocked on both sides just in case. Be sure to ensure that the surface on which the lift is installed is solid, so that the lift does not sink while the vehicle is being jacked up. This process can be prevented by placing wide boards under the lift.
The lift can only be installed on the sides of the body or under the rear cross member. Illustration 5.1 shows where the lift should be installed when lifting the front or rear of the car. When installing the lift, try not to damage the paintwork. It is best to drive the car onto a ramp for repair work.
