Workshop lifting areas

You can use a workshop jack or lifting equipment designed for frequent and extended use when you raise the car off the ground. However, when you do, you need to ensure that it's placed on the car's lifting areas.

The lifting areas to use with workshop equipment are placed by the outer corners of the battery tray. They are just behind the common jacking points, close to the ribbed area.

 Important

It is very important to place the workshop jack on the car's lifting areas or the battery may get damaged.

If you're using a workshop jack, make sure that the jack plate is fitted with a rubber guard to protect the car as well as ensure that the car remains stable.

If using lifting equipment not supplied by Volvo, carefully read their instructions before raising the car. Ensure that the equipment is compatible with the car.

 Note

Remember to activate jack mode before raising the car off the ground.
