Nissan Micra Lifting Points & Jacking Positions - Jack, Safety Stand, Tow Hooks

Service procedure for vehicle lifting points and tow-truck towing using a pantograph jack and garage jack with safety stands.

This page, GI-13 from a Nissan service manual's General Information section, covers "Lifting Points and Tow Truck Towing." It begins with two safety warnings: never get under a vehicle supported only by a jack (always use safety stands under the frame), and place wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheel diagonally opposite the jack position. The Pantograph Jack section shows a side-profile illustration of the car with two designated jacking points along the rocker/sill area, indicated by dashed circles, along with a drawing of the supplied scissor-type pantograph jack and crank handle (figure SG1154). The Garage Jack and Safety Stand section cautions to place a wood or rubber block between the safety stand and the vehicle body when the supporting surface is flat. A plan-view underbody diagram identifies the front towing hooks and rear towing hook, with arrows leading to four detailed illustrations showing correct placement of a garage (floor) jack at the front and rear, and correct positioning of safety stands under the front and rear of the vehicle (figure SG1372). A reader learns the approved jacking points, towing hook locations, and safe support procedures for this vehicle.
