The correct lifting, jacking and towing procedures MUST be followed when carrying out body repairs, paying particular attention to the following points:

• Locate trolley jack pads properly before lifting and lower the jack fully before withdrawal.
• Locate the lifting heads of wheel-free lifts correctly, with rubber or a similar protective material between lifting head and underbody.

WARNING: In accordance with normal workshop practice, and to avoid the possibility of damage or personal injury, work must not be carried out on or under a vehicle when it is supported solely on a jack. Place safety supports under the sill reinforced jacking areas (3, 4, 5 or 6). Ensure that the head of the stand is either flat or has only a shallow recess, to avoid damage to adjacent bodywork.
