The vehicle should only be lifted when unloaded on a level, hard surface.
Wheels that remain on the ground when the car is lifted must be supported with wedges to prevent them from rolling. Do not rely on the parking brake, which must be released for some repairs. Support the car so that the side support is directed outward.
Note: When installing the stand, place wooden or rubber pads under the body to avoid damaging the bottom.
Lifting and support areas
The points for installing a jack or lift correspond to the rubber blocks on the side members (arrows).
Position the repair jack so that its base rests flat on the floor and the head of the jack enters the rectangular recess on the bottom.
Turn the jack handle until the wheel is off the ground. Support the car with reliable stands.
