Vehicle Lifting: Locations

Jack/Lift Points

When using a lift or shop jack to raise a vehicle or using rigid rack to support a vehicle, always follow instructions concerning jack-up points and weight limits to prevent the vehicle from falling, which could result in injury. Be especially careful that the vehicle is balanced before raising it. Be sure to set the wheel stoppers when jacking-up only the front or rear side of the vehicle.

CAUTION: Select the lift attachment so that the side sill does not contact the lift arm portion.

NOTE:
- When using a lift, follow its operation manual before work.
- If side sill cover touches the lift arm, use lift attachment.
- Do not work or leave unattended while the vehicle is supported with jack, support it with rigid racks.
- Be sure to use the rigid racks with rubber attached to cradle to support the vehicle.
- When using a plate lift, use a rubber attachment. Place the attachment to the specified position of the vehicle, by adjusting front/rear and left/right sides accordingly.







- Align the cushion rubber center of plate lift with the center of rubber attachment.
- Do not use the plate lift whose attachment does not reach the supporting locations.
