Where is the jack support position for the Sagitar?
2 Answers
The jack support point for the Sagitar is located below the front door. The method for using the Sagitar jack is as follows: Position the jack behind the wheel of the Sagitar, under the door; then forcefully pump the jack handle to raise the vehicle to the desired height. When using the jack, it is crucial to place it on the designated support points of the vehicle's chassis. For most passenger cars, these support points are typically located on the inner side of the side skirts, resembling two fins along the chassis. These fins are positioned approximately 20 cm behind the front wheels and 20 cm in front of the rear wheels. These protruding sections of the chassis are reinforced to withstand significant pressure. Incorrect usage, such as placing the jack directly on the chassis plate or on the suspension's lower control arm, can cause unnecessary damage to the chassis. Additionally, if the jack slips and the vehicle falls, both the chassis and the jack may sustain damage.
I remember the first time I changed a spare tire on my Sagitar by myself, I couldn’t figure out where to place the jack and almost dented the chassis. Later, after checking the owner’s manual, I learned that the support points are all located underneath the chassis near each wheel—two designated points front and back, usually marked by weld spots or raised areas. These spots are positioned at the inner edge of the wheels. For example, the left front wheel has a reinforced point behind the suspension, and the right rear wheel has a similar symmetrical point. Don’t cut corners by jacking up random spots like the middle of the frame or under the door panels—that can easily damage the body. I’ve seen beginners make this mistake, and repairs can be costly. Before starting, find a flat, hard surface, engage the parking brake, and align the jack properly to lift steadily. Mastering this little trick through practice makes it second nature—safe, hassle-free, and efficient.
