Lifting and Jacking

Introduction

Lifting and Jacking

Safety

Warning

Recommended procedures for lifting, jacking and towing must be strictly observed to ensure personal safety.

Warning

Always use a vehicle hoist, ramp or pit for working beneath the vehicle in preference to jacking.

Warning

Never rely on a jack to support a car independently, use axle stands or blocks carefully placed at jacking points to provide rigid support.

Warning

When working beneath a vehicle, chock wheels as well as applying handbrake.

Warning

Ensure vehicle is standing on firm, level ground before jacking or lifting.

Warning

Check lifting equipment has adequate capacity for load being lifted and is in full working order.

The vehicle may also be jacked with the jack placed on the front subframe, front crossmember.

Front Crossmember

Always use a jack with a rubber contact pad. Avoid the use of jacks with sharp contact pads which could damage the vehicle floor pan Always chock the opposite road wheels as well as applying the handbrake when using a hydraulic jack.

To prevent body distortion, avoid single point or one side jacking with the tunnel shear panel removed.

To avoid any danger of bodywork damage when using a hydraulic jack, the vehicle must only be lifted at the jacking points.

Jacking Points

Caution

Do not jack the vehicle on the lower suspension arms (front or rear).

This vehicle jacking points are at positions shown.

Stands

When carrying out work (other than a wheel change) which requires a wheel to be raised, a stand must be used, located at the jacking point, to provide a secure support for the vehicle.

Workshop Hoist

Use of a workshop hoist is recommended for all operations where vehicles must be raised. Follow manufacturers instructions. If using an adjustable arm type, ensure lifting pads are correctly positioned at the four jacking points before lifting.

Vehicle Recovery

Introduction

Vehicle Recovery

General

The preferred method of vehicle recovery is by a flat bed, covered, transporter.

The towing eye is primarily for emergency use when towing for short distances, e.g. removing vehicle if it is causing an obstruction or winching vehicle onto a flatbed transporter.

If moving this vehicle in such a situation, install the towing eye to the bracket, which is located behind the registration number plate.

Rear Suspended Tow

1.Set the steering in the ‘straight ahead’ position.

2.Remove the ignition key from the ignition. Ensure the steering is locked in the straight ahead position.

3.Raise the vehicle using a 'spectacle frame' style lifting device where a cradle is positioned under each rear wheel as indicated below.

Caution

 

Take care to protect the paint work when installing the

Towing an Automatic Vehicle

towing eye. Ensure the towing eye is tight.

 

Transporting

If vehicle is to be transported on a trailer or flat bed transporter the handbrake must be applied and the road wheels must be chocked.

Suspended Towing

Caution

Do not tow with ‘sling’ type equipment, damage to bodywork will result.

Take care when using 'spectacle frame' type towing equipment that the towing device is well clear of front or rear apron. Body damage may occur if vehicle passes over uneven road surfaces.

Ensure the recovery team follow the following towing instructions:

Front Suspended Tow

Automatic Transmission Only

1.Switch the ignition ‘On’.

2.Pull back twice on both paddles, simultaneously, to force the gearbox into ‘Neutral’.

Switch the ignition ‘Off’ within three seconds.

Manual and Automatic Transmissions

3.Remove the ignition key from the ignition.

4.Raise the vehicle using a 'spectacle frame' type lifting device with a cradle positioned under each front wheel as indicated below.

Caution

This vehicle installed with an automatic transmission can be towed on its driven wheels at not more than 70 km/h road speed and for a maximum

distance of 500 km.

The selector lever must be in Neutral (N).

If the above speed and distance limits are exceeded, the automatic transmission will be severely damaged.

Towing Regulations

In certain countries the registration number plate of the towing vehicle and an ‘ON TOW’ sign or warning triangle must be displayed in a prominent position at the rear of vehicle being towed.

Towing by Another Vehicle

Ward the brake booster will become ineffective after a few applications of the brakes. Be prepared for relatively heavy steering and the need for greatly increased brake pedal pressure.

This vehicle may be towed short distances by another vehicle provided that a speed of 48 km/h (30 mph) is not exceeded. Ensure that the towed vehicle gear selection is in ‘Neutral’ (manual) or position ‘N’ (automatic), the ignition key turned to position ‘II’ (to release steering lock and to render the horn, indicators and brake lights operational).

Push-start

Vehicle’s installed with automatic transmissions cannot be started by push-starting.

Body Structure (01.01)

Overview

The all aluminium body underframe is bonded using an immensely strong hot-cured XD4600 red adhesive.

The rear quarter panels, roof and side mouldings are bonded to the structure using cold-cured 2810 MV adhesive. The curing cycle is improved by using a hot air impingement system. In addition, the roof panel is connected to the rear quarter panels through ultrasonic welds.

The composite front wings are bolted to the structure.

At no time should the body structure be subjected to temperatures in excess of 120°C (248°F).
