Lifting The Vehicle

CAUTION:
Danger of material damage if the vehicle is raised incorrectly or if the vehicle is driven incorrectly onto the lifting platform.
- Lift the vehicle only at the take-up points shown in the figure.
- Make sure the screw connections for the diagonal braces are accessible.
- When driving onto a platform lift, ensure that there is sufficient distance between the platform lift and the vehicle.
- In order to avoid damage to the side members and side member panels, the mounting plates of the platform lift must be raised.
- Under no circumstances should the vehicle be lifted at the engine, transmission or axles.
