Workshop jack

CAUTION: When lifting the side of the vehicle with a workshop jack, ensure that the jack head is positioned under the reinforced area of the sill, as shown.

WORKSHOP JACK

Front: Locate the jack head under the central location bracket(1). Position safety supports under both front sill reinforced brackets (3 and 4).

Rear: Locate the jack head under the central location bracket (2). Position safety supports under both rear sill reinforced brackets (5 and 6).

Side Front: Locate the jack head under the sill reinforced bracket (3 or 4) and position safety support under front subframe longitudinal member (7).

Side rear: Locate the jack head under the sill reinforced bracket (5 or 6) and position safety support under rear subframe longitudinal member (8).

WHEEL-FREE LIFT

If crossbeams are available, locate the pads under the sill reinforced jacking brackets (3, 4) and (5, 6).

If longitudinal beams are available, locate the beams under the subframe longitudinals with lifting pads at the front and rear positions (7 and 8). Raise the lift a few inches and ensure the vehicle is firmly supported. Raise the lift to full height and inspect the lifting points for security.

RECOVERY

Manual gearbox models

It is recommended that a recovery trailer or two wheel car ambulance be used. In an emergency, the car may be towed on its own wheels using the front lashing/towing eyes (9).

Automatic (EM-CVT) gearbox models

It is recommended that a recovery trailer or a two wheel car ambulance is used on the rear wheels. In an emergency, the car may be towed a short distance on its own wheels using the front lashing/towing eyes (9).

Suspended tow

CAUTION: A front suspended tow must not be attempted on a vehicle with an automatic gearbox. Serious damage to the transmission will occur.

A suspended tow cannot be carried out without incurring damage. If additional damage is immaterial because of existing crash damage, lifting chains can be attached to the towing eyes.

Before towing commences release the handbrake, place the gear lever in neutral and the ignition switch at ’I’. Do not tow at a greater speed than 30 mph, 50 km/h.

On no account should the vehicle be towed with the rear wheels on the ground if the transmission is faulty, the transmission fluid level is low, or the towing distance exceeds 30 miles or 50 km.

WARNING: Trophy models have a lower ground clearance than most other cars, vehicle recovery should ONLY be carried out by a qualified recovery specialist using a transporter or trailer. Other methods of vehicle recovery, including the use of wheel lift equipment to suspend the front or rear wheels, and towing with rope, bar or chain , will cause damage to the front of the vehicle and are not recommended.
