LIFTING AND TOWING
08-1
LIFTING AND TOWING
Jacking
The following instructions must be carried out before
raising the vehicle off the ground:
lUse a solid level surface.
lApply parking brake.
lSelect 1st. gear in main gearbox and ensure
HDC is not selected.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to under body
components of the vehicle, adhere to the
following jacking procedures:
DO NOT POSITION JACKS OR AXLE STANDS
UNDER THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:
lBumpers
lBrake or Fuel lines
lExhaust pipe
lSuspension components
lSteering rack and linkages
lFuel tank
lEngine sump
lGearbox
lIRD unit
Jack or support vehicle only on approved jacking
points as detailed in the following illustration:
Front (hydraulic jack) and side (vehicle jack) jacking
pointsSafety stand positions under longitudinal members
Rear (hydraulic jack) and side (vehicle jack) jacking
points
Vehicle jack
The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended to
be used in an emergency, for changing a tyre. Do
NOT use the jack for any other purpose. Refer to the
Owner's Handbook for vehicle jack location points
and procedure. Never work under a vehicle only
supported by the vehicle jack.
Hydraulic jack
A hydraulic jack with a minimum 1500 kg (3,300 lbs)
load capacity must be used.
WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle
supported only by a jack. Always support the
vehicle on safety stands.

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-2
Raising the front of a vehicle
Position the cup of the hydraulic arm under the
centre of the front body crossmember assembly.
Use jack to raise front road wheels to enable safety
stands to be installed under the front end of each
longitudinal member.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle re-
check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle
from stands.
NOTE: For some repair operations it may be
necessary to use a jack to support the engine under
the sump. In this case, a block of wood should be
used on the jack to protect the sump.
Raising the rear of a vehicle
Position cup of hydraulic arm under the centre of the
rear subframe crossmember at the position
identified by the embossed arrows.
Use jack to raise rear road wheels to enable safety
stands to be installed under the rear ends of the
body longitudinal members.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle, re-
check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle
from stands.
Wheel-free lift
Locate the lifting pads under the ends of the body
longitudinal members. Raise the ramp to support the
weight of the vehicle, ensure the vehicle is secure on
the lifting pads, then raise the ramp to the required
height.
Towing
General
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The
following instructions must be adhered to:
Towing the vehicle on all four wheels with driver
operating steering and brakes
lTurn ignition key to position '1' to release
steering lock and then to position 'II' to enable
the brake lights, wipers and direction indicators
to be operated, if necessary.
l Select neutral in gearbox and ensure HDC (hill
descent control) is deselected.
lSecure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
lRelease the parking brake.
CAUTION: The brake servo and power assisted
steering system will not be functional without the
engine running. Greater pedal pressure will be
required to apply the brakes and the steering
system will require greater effort to turn the front
road wheels. The vehicle tow connection should
only be used under normal road conditions,
'snatch' recovery should be avoided.
Suspended tow by breakdown vehicle
Mark propeller shaft drive flanges and mating flanges
with identification lines to enable the propeller shaft
to be refitted in its original position.
Remove the propeller shaft fixings then remove the
shaft from the vehicle.
CAUTION: To prevent vehicle damage, rear
propeller shaft MUST BE removed.

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-3
If the front of the vehicle is to be trailed, turn ignition
key to position 'I' to release steering lock.
WARNING: Do not turn the starter switch to
position '0' or remove the ignition key while the
vehicle is being towed.
CAUTION: If it is considered unsafe to turn the
starter switch to position '1' due to accident
damage or an electrical fault; disconnect the
battery before turning the ignition switch.
CAUTION: The steering wheel and/or linkage
must be secured in a straight ahead position. DO
NOT use the steering lock mechanism for this
purpose.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the
vehicle be towed or recovered by means of
lashing to the rear subframe. Serious damage to
the subframe and body could result.
CAUTION: Only use the rear towing eye for
towing another vehicle.
Towing eyes
The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle
are designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and
must not be used to tow a trailer or caravan.
Front and rear towing eyes
A single towing eye is provided in the front spoiler.
Only use when the vehicle is to be towed with all four
wheels on the ground.
A single towing eye is provided in the rear RH spoiler.
Only use when towing another vehicle.Transporting the vehicle by trailer
Lashing rings are provided at the front and rear of the
body to facilitate the securing of the vehicle to a
trailer or other means of transportation.
CAUTION: Underbody components must not be
used as lashing points. The lashing rings must
not be used for towing.
Install the vehicle on trailer and apply the parking
brake. Select neutral.
Lashing eyes
Lashing rings are provided at the front and rear of the
vehicle for use when transporting by trailer. DO NOT
use lashing eyes for towing purposes.
