Lifting the vehicle

WARNING: Risk of injury due to vehicles slipping or tilting off lifting platforms. 
  • Risk of injury due to vehicles slipping or tilting off lifting platforms may be caused by improper alignment of the lifting platform arms or support plates, and by raising, supporting or removing units on raised vehicles. 

→ Align the vehicle evenly between the lifting platform columns.

→ Lift the vehicle only at the take-up points provided.

→ Check the correct seating of the support plates by raising the vehicle slightly and conducting a visual inspection.

→ In order to ensure that the vehicle is not lifted off the support plates during assembly work, the vehicle must be secured on the lifting platform, or the shift in the center of gravity must be offset by a corresponding load in the vehicle, when units are removed or supported.

→ In addition, the guidelines of the lifting platform manufacturers and the legal accident prevention regulations and those of the mutual indemnity association (VGB 14) must be observed.

CAUTION: Danger of material damage if the vehicle is raised incorrectly. 
  • Lifting or supporting the vehicle at unsuitable take-up points can lead to material damage on the vehicle. 
  • Raising the vehicle in the sill area will lead to the deformation of body parts and to leakage in the underbody area. 

→ Lift the vehicle only at the approved take-up points.

NOTE: For Cayenne vehicles with air suspension/level control, the following work must also be performed before raising the vehicle:
  • Adjusting car to normal level 
  • Switching off level control 
  • Switch on level control 

After ending the repair or maintenance work, perform the steps for the following activity:

NOTE: When driving onto the lifting platform, bear in mind the work to be carried out. If work has to be carried out in the front footwell, the vehicle should be positioned in such a way that the front doors can be opened far enough.
