Lifting
vehicle
Lifting with workshop hoist
and with floor jack
Notes
• 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.
The same lifting points as illus trated on the
next page for the hoist also apply when a
floor jack is used.
e To avoid damage to the under­
body or chassis frame, it is neces­
sary to insert a rubber pad between
the floor jack and the lift points.
• To prevent damaging the shock
absorbers when lifting the vehicle
with a jack or on a hoist, the level
selection must be in the jack mode.
See next page. �W
ARNING
• To reduce the risk of serious in­
jury and vehicle damage, lift the
vehicle only at the special work­
shop hoist and floor jack lift points
illus trated. Failure to lift the ve­
hicle 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 such heavy
components, anchor vehicle to
hoist or add correspo nding
weights to maintain the center of
gravity. Otherwise, the vehicle
might tilt or slip oH the hoist,
causing serious damage or person­
al injur y. DO-IT-YOU
RSELF SERVICE
�� WARNING continued
• If you must lift your vehicle with
a floor jack to work underneath,
be sure the vehicle is safely sup­
ported on stands intended for this
purpose.
• Before driving over a workshop
hoist, check that the vehicle weight
does not exceed the permissible lift­
ing capacity of the hoist.
• Before driving over a workshop
hoist, ensure that there is suHicient
clearance between the hoist and
low parts of the vehicle.

Note
When driving up steep ramps, on rough
roads, over curbs, etc. it is important to re­
member that some parts of your vehicle,
such as spoilers or exhaust system compo­
nents, may be close to the ground.
Be careful not to damage them.

Weights
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
and the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
for front and rear are listed on a sticker on
the left door jamb.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in­
cludes the weight of the basic vehicle plus
full fuel tank, oil and coolant, plus maximum
load, which combines passenger weight
(150 lbs/68 kg per designated seating posi­
tion) and luggage weight.
Luggage weight is not increased by the use
of a roof rack, unless the passenger capac­
ity is reduced accordingly.
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the
maximum load that can be applied at each
axle of the vehicle. �W
ARNIN G
• The actual Gross Axle Weight
Rating at the front and rear axles
should not exceed the permissible
weights, and their combination
must nbt exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating.
• Exceeding permissible weight
ratings can result in vehicle dam­
age, accidents and personal injury.
The vehicle capacity weight (max.
load) is listed inside the fuel filler flap. TECHNICAL
DATA
Notes
• The vehicle capacity weight fig­
ures apply when the load is distrib­
uted evenly in the vehicle (passengers
and luggage). When transporting a
heavy load in the luggage compart·
ment, carry the load as near to the
rear axle as possible so that the ve­
hicle's handling is not impaired.
• Do not exceed the maximum per­
missible axle loads or the maximum
Gross Vehicle Weight.
Always remember that the vehicle's
handling will be affected by the ex­
tra load. Therefore, adjust your
speed accordingly.
• Always observe local regulations.
