GENERAL
Tooling.
[1] Crossbeam : (-). 0010.
Front lifting on one side.
Position the jack (4) at the strongpoints provided for this purpose on each side
of the front crossmember between the bumper (2) and the engine (3).
Front central lifting.
Using a jack equipped with a crossbeam (sufficiently rigid) take the weight at the
two strongpoints on the front crossmember.
Side lifting.
At the front and at the rear
Take the weight at the sill, by means of the crossbeam [1], as close as possible
to the jacking point.
Position a stand at the jacking point provided for the purpose of lifting the
vehicle with the jack.
WARNING : Avoid the battery tray on the right hand side.
Side lifting at both front and rear
Take the weight at the sill, by means of the crossbeam [1].
Position stands at the jacking points provided for the purpose of lifting the
vehicle with the jack.
WARNING : Lifting at the rear of the vehicle using the crossbeam is
STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

GENERAL SPECIFICATION: LIFTING AND SUPPORTING THE VEHICLE
GENERAL
Lifting by means of a two-column workshop lift
WARNING : The removing of components such as the engine/gearbox, rear sub-
frame etc, can cause a displacement of the centre of gravity: Use a lift equipped
with retaining devices to keep the body stable on the lift.
Without body clamps.
Place the lift’s guide pads at each jacking point.
WARNING : To prevent any risk of the vehicle toppling, it is prohibited to
remove mechanical components.
With body clamps
WARNING : These clamps are fitted only on FOG lifts.
Position the clamps at the sill in the jacking points provided, screw heads oriented
towards the outside of the vehicle. Tighten the clamps using the gudgeon pin and,
after tightening, engage the pin in the hole (A).
Towing (front).
Lift the blank with the aid of the flat part of the towing eye (1) and then screw the
eye home.
NOTE : The towing eye is to be found on the front panel inside the engine compartment.
Towing (rear).
Lift the blank (1) and screw the towing eye home.
