CAUTION:  It  is  essential  that  jacks and  axle stands 

are positioned under  the chassis  to avoid damaging 
the  body  e.t.c.  Do not position jacks  or axle  stands 

under  the fibre glass body structure or floor pan, 

this  will  cause damage, and  would also be extreme­

ly unsafe. 

Jacks or  axle stands  must be positioned only  on the 

areas  shown  above  and over  page. 

CAUTION:  Work  should never  be started until 
suitable  axle stands have been positioned in  the 
indicated  positions. 

Towing Procedure 

The 

TVR 

Cerbera 

is 

not designed  to tow  other  vehi­

cles  and for  this reason  there  is  no  towing  eye  on the 
rear  of  the  car. 

In 

the case of a break  down  there is a 

towing  eye on the  front of  the car ( - fig12)  by which 
it is possible to tow the  car  to  an appropriate  place for 
repair,  however it is  not recommended that this dis­

tance be  too great. 

CAUTION:  Please noted  the brake selVos and 

power  steering  will  not  be operative  whilst  the  car 
is  not  running  thus  greater pressure  will have  to  be 
app

l

ied  to  the  brake  pedal  and  greater  effort  will  be 

needed  to turn  the  steering  wheel. 

- fig12 

Transporting by Trailer 

When  transporting  the Cerbera by trailer  or  by  a  flat­
bed  transporter  etc.  it  is  crucial  to  secure  the  Cerbera  to 

the  trailer  using  the  correct  points  on the  car. 

CAUTION:  If  the  correct  fastening points are  not  used 

the  vehicle will be unsafe  during transit, and parts of 
the  Cerbera may also  be damaged due to  abnormal 

stresses.
