Raising the vehicle
Raise the vehicle using only the designated jacking points.Do not raise the vehicle until you have slackened the wheel bolts on
the wheel you wish to remove Ÿpage 238.
Jacking up the vehicle
1. Look for the jacking point Ÿfig. 161 (arrow) Ÿ closest to the
tyre which has to be changed.
2. Raise the jack under the jacking point until it just fits under the
car.
3. Check that the foot of the jack has full contact with the ground.
4. Adjust the jack and continue to crank the claw up until it is in
position around the vertical rib Ÿfig. 162 (arrow) underneath
the vehicle Ÿ
5. Crank the jack further until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
The jack may be applied only at the jacking points shown Ÿfig. 161. The
front jacking point is approx. 11 cm from the wheel arch. The rear jacking
point is approx. 14 cm from the wheel arch. Notches on both sides in the sills
show where the jacking points are under the vehicle.
WARNING
•You could injure yourself or damage the vehicle if you do not observe
the correct jacking points.
•Soft ground under the jack may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack.
Always provide a firm base for the jack on the ground. If necessary use a
large, strong board or similar support. On a hard, slippery surface (such as
tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to prevent the jack from slipping.
•The jack claw must grasp the vertical rib under the sill properly so that
the jack does not slip off when you are raising the vehicle Ÿfig. 162.
