Vehicle Lifting Points: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: Improperly lifting the vehicle using a hoist could cause serious personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle. Be sure to take the following precautions when lifting the vehicle with a hoist:

Before applying the hoist arms to the underbody, keep in mind how the balance of the vehicle will change when components are removed during the intended service.
Before lifting up the vehicle, make sure that the ends of the hoist arms are not in contact with components such as the brake and fuel lines, and related brackets.
When using a frame contact hoist, apply the right and left arms to the symmetrically located points shown in the figure. Lift up the vehicle until all 4 tires are slightly off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off the hoist by rocking the vehicle body back and forth. Work should be started only after this confirmation.
Make absolutely sure to lock the hoist after the vehicle has been raised up to the desired height.
