Lifting the car

If the car is lifted with a workshop jack, it should sit with the front edge
on the engine support arm. Do not damage the splashguard under the
engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off
the jack. Always use axle stands or the like.
If you lift the car using a two pillar workshop lift, ensure that the front and
rear lift arms are fixed under the lifting points on the door sill. See the
illustration.
