Nissan Micra Lifting Points & 2-Pole Lift Diagram - Tow Truck Towing (GI-14)
Service procedure for two-pole lift lifting points showing sill/lift-pad placement on an underbody diagram with cautions.
This service manual page, GI-14 from the General Information (GI) section, covers 'Lifting Points and Tow Truck Towing' with focus on 2-pole lift procedures. It begins with a warning: when lifting the vehicle, the lift arms must be opened as wide as possible and the vehicle must be well balanced front to rear; the lift arm must not contact brake tubes or fuel lines. A large underbody illustration shows the correct lift arm contact points along the sills — two front and two rear — on the vehicle's underside, with the engine, exhaust, suspension, and fuel tank visible for orientation. An inset detail drawing labeled 'Sill' and 'Lift pad' shows the proper engagement: the sill flange must sit in the slit of the lift pad to prevent the sill from deforming; if the pad lacks a slit, a suitable slotted attachment should be prepared. A note states that the front lift-up points are the same as the pantograph jack points. The page carries figure reference SGI458. From this page a reader learns exactly where and how to safely position a two-post hoist's arms under the vehicle without damaging the body or underbody lines.
