Kia Rio: Lift And Support Points
|
When heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare
tire, tailgate and trunk lid are to be removed, place additional weight
in the luggage area before hoisting. When substantial weight is removed
from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity may change and can
cause the vehicle to tip forward on the hoist.
|
| •
|
Since each tire/wheel assembly weights approximately 14kg
(30lbs), placing the front wheels in the luggage area can assist
with the weight distribution.
|
| •
|
Use the same support points to support the vehicle on
safety stands.
|
|
|
1. |
Place the lift blocks under the support points as shown in the
illustration.
|
|
2. |
Raise the hoist a few inches (centimeters) and rock the vehicle
to be sure it is firmly supported.
|
|
3. |
Raise the hoist to full height to inspect the lift points for
secure support.
