JACKING POINTS

Care must be taken when using a lifting jack or hoist to position the device only in one of the the areas

shown in the illustration, with a suitable rubber or timber pad protecting the chassis from surface damage. If a

4-point lift is to be used, the engine bay undertray/diffuser panel (if fitted) must first be removed. When using

a 4-point lift, it is strongly recommended that for optimum stability and safety, positions B and D are used.

A; Identified by a blue sticker. Beneath crossmember ahead of fuel tank bay. To be used one side at a time

for wheel changing - lifts both wheels on one side. Do not use with a four point garage lift.

B; Beneath the front end of the right or left hand main chassis rail, behind the front wheelarch. Garage use

with 4-point lift in conjunction with (C).

C; The engine undertray/diffuser panel must first be removed. Beneath the outboard end of the chassis

crossmember ahead of the rear wheelarches. Take care to position the jack between the fixing screws

for the fuel tank bay perforated undershield. Garage use with 4-point lift in conjuction with (B).

D; The engine undertray/diffuser panel must first be removed. Beneath the rear subframe, close to the lower

wishbone rearmost mountings.

Jacking at any other point may damage the chassis or body structure and/or jeopardise safety.
