Positioning the jack
Before positioning the jack, ensure that the air
suspension system is ’locked’ (key removed
from starter switch, hazard lights switched on,
and tailgate open). If the vehicle had
previously settled to Low ride height (or
Access), it will be necessary to improve
access beneath the vehicle by starting the
engine and raising the vehicle to Standard or
High ride height before positioning the jack.
Always position the jack from the front or rear
of the vehicle directly in line with the jacking
points.
WARNING
• NEVER use the jack from the side of the
vehicle.
• ALWAYS use the complete, two piece,
jacking lever throughout to minimise any
accidental contact with a hot exhaust
system.
• ONLY jack the vehicle using the jack
location points described or damage to
the vehicle could occur.
Rear jacking point:
Push the mud flap up over the tyre to allow
clear access. Position the jack so that, when
raised, it engages with the rear axle casing
immediately below the air spring and as close
as possible to the shock absorber mounting
bracket (see illustration).
Front jacking point:
Position the jack so that, when raised, it will
engage with the front axle casing immediately
below the air spring (see illustration). The
cradle of the jack must locate between the end
of the axle and the point where the radius arm
attaches to the axle (see illustration).
