Where is the jack placed for changing the spare tire on a Haval H6?
2 Answers
Place the jack near the edges of the vehicle's chassis close to the wheels, where there are designated support points for the jack to make contact. Below are specific details about car jacks: 1. Application Scope: Jacks have a wide range of applications, not just for cars but also for many industrial equipment that require such lightweight lifting devices. The most common scenario for using a car jack is for tire replacement. If you experience a flat or burst tire on a highway or in a remote area and cannot wait for timely assistance, you will need to change it yourself. 2. Types of Jacks: The commonly used types today are mechanical and hydraulic. The former is lightweight and easy to carry, but due to its small size, its lifting capacity and stability are slightly weaker. 3. Usage Precautions: In most cases, the jack should be placed on the raised position of the side rail closest to the tire being replaced, ensuring the grooved end of the jack fits securely. Before lifting, it is advisable to loosen the nuts of the tire to be removed by one turn before raising the jack.
I've driven a Haval H6 for over a decade. When changing a spare tire, the jack position is precisely at the specially designed lifting points under the car, specifically at the metal protrusions near the four wheels, usually on the chassis in front or behind the tires. Finding it is easy—I often squat down to look for those sturdy welded points on the chassis. Avoid propping it up at random spots to prevent scratching the paint or causing deformation. Once when I broke down in the wild, I first parked the car securely, pulled the handbrake, shifted into gear, then aligned the jack with the groove and lifted it steadily to change the tire. Safety is paramount—ensure the ground is level and don’t forget to place support blocks to prevent slipping. Regular maintenance checks on these points can save major trouble, as proper positioning ensures the jack bears weight evenly, extending the car’s lifespan. Before road trips, it's best to practice positioning the jack once to familiarize yourself with the spots.
