support frame and under the reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash
guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use
axle stands or similar structures.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the car, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the
reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail. The position of these plates is marked with
arrows molded into the bottom of the sill rail.
CAUTION: 850 R turbo models have reduced ground clearance due to the design of the front spoiler.
Please observe caution when driving the car onto a garage hoist.

Torque exhaust and intake manifold nuts
A loose manifold could alter air/fuel ratio and cause an increase in emission and/or poor driveability.
Air cleaner
Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). The cartridge should
be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and
therefore should always be replaced with a new one.
