Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair




Lift 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, make sure 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.
