LIFTING AND TOWING
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.
