When working under the vehicle, unless it is standing on a vehicle lift, it must be supported on two or four stable jack stands. Never work under the vehicle if it is not adequately secured or is supported only by the jack. Danger to life!

  • Raise the vehicle only when unladen, on level, firm ground.

  • Secure the wheels that remain on the ground with wheel chocks to prevent rolling forward or backward.

    Do not rely on the parking brake; it must be released for some repairs.

  • Support the vehicle on jack stands so that one leg of each stand points outward to the side.

Warning: Use a suitable rubber or wooden pad between the lifting equipment and the vehicle to avoid damage to the underbody when lifting. Lifting and jacking points: Vehicle lift

  • Place the lift arms at the front on the pick-up points (see detail illustration), and at the rear on the reinforcements of the side members, approx. 20 cm from the rear wheel arch.
