♦ Before driving onto a lifting platform, ensure that there is
sufficient clearance between low-lying vehicle compo‐
nents and lifting platform.
♦ Before driving a vehicle onto a lifting platform it must be
ensured that the vehicle weight does not exceed the per‐
missible lifting capacity of the platform.
♦ Vehicle may be lifted only at points indicated in figure to
avoid damaging vehicle floor pan or tipping vehicle.
♦ Never start engine and engage a gear with vehicle lifted

ported by suitable stands.
