Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle

Note: The use of a LOW PROFILE LIFT ARMS SYSTEM may be required to avoid unwanted contact with the vehicle's body and structure depending on lifting equipment used. Refer to the manufacture's recommendation for their applications of low profile lift arms system for their lifting equipment.

Caution: Lifting the vehicle improperly can damage the vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by the warranty.

Caution: Perform the following steps before beginning any vehicle lifting or jacking procedure:

   • Remove or secure all of the vehicle contents in order to avoid any shifting or any movement that may occur during the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure.
   • The lifting equipment or the jacking equipment weight rating must meet or exceed the weight of the vehicle and any vehicle contents.
   • The lifting equipment or the jacking equipment must meet the operational standards of the lifting equipment or jacking equipment manufacturer.
   • Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure on a clean, hard, dry, level surface.
   • Perform the vehicle lifting or jacking procedure only at the identified lift points. DO NOT allow the lifting equipment or jacking equipment to contact any other vehicle components.
Failure to perform the previous steps could result in damage to the lifting equipment or the jacking equipment, the vehicle, and/or the vehicle contents.

Vehicle Lifting - Frame Contact Lift

Danger: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed and strap the vehicle to the hoist.

Note: The hoist pads must not contact the rocker panel mouldings or the underbody air deflectors. Additional clearance may be required for the lifting points.

Front Lift Pads

When lifting the vehicle with a frame-contact lift, place the front lift pads on the rocker outer panel weld flange, as shown

Rear Lift Pads

When lifting the vehicle with a frame-contact lift, place the rear lift pads on the rocker outer panel weld flange, as shown.

Vehicle Lifting - Service Jack


2524222

Danger: Do not use a service jack in locations other than those specified to lift this vehicle. Lifting the vehicle with a jack in other locations could cause the vehicle to slip off the jack and roll; this could cause injury or death.

Danger: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death, always use the jackstands to support the vehicle when lifting the vehicle with a jack.

Caution: Lifting the vehicle improperly can damage the vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by the warranty.

Caution: When you are jacking the vehicle at the front locations, be certain that the jack or the jack lift pad does not contact the front fascia, front fascia air dam, rocker moulding, or the front wings. If such contact occurs, vehicle damage may result. When jacking at selected front locations additional clearance may be required for the jacking points.

Note: It may be necessary to put ramps under the Volt's front tyres in order to provide necessary clearance for certain service jacks.
