WORKSHOP JACK

Front

Locate the jack head under the front subframe longitudinal (5 or 6) towards the rear directly below the drive shaft. Position a safety support under the appropriate floor front reinforcement (2 or 3).

Side

Locate the jack head under the appropriate front sill reinforced bracket (4). Position a safety support under the nearest floor front reinforcement (2 or 3).

CAUTION: The side jacking points are designed to accommodate the vehicle jack only.

Rear

Locate the jack head under the triangular depression on the appropriate rear subframe longitudinal (8 or 9). Position a safety support under the adjacent rear sill reinforcement (7).

WHEEL-FREE LIFT

Two-post lift and crossbeams: Locate the pads under the floor front reinforcements (2, 3), and under the rear sill reinforcements (5, 7).

Longitudinal beams: Locate the beams under the front and rear subframe longitudinals (5, 6) and (8, 9). Raise the lift a few inches and ensure the car is firmly supported. Raise the lift to full height and inspect the lifting points for security.

TOWING

It is recommended that a recovery trailer or two wheel car ambulance be used. When a recovery trailer, the car should be secured using the front lashing/towing eye (1) and the rear lashing points on the subframe (10). No other attachment points may be used for this purpose. In an emergency, the car may be towed on its own wheels using the front lashing/towing eye.

CAUTION: Do not use the car for towing another light vehicle, or a trailer, as it not suitable for this purpose.

Suspended tow

A front wheel lift should be used with a cross beam and body protection.

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

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