Where should the jack be placed for the Haval H6?
2 Answers
Place the jack near the wheel at the edges on both sides of the vehicle chassis, where there are designated support points for jack contact. Below are detailed introductions about car jacks: 1. Application Scope: Jacks have a wide range of applications, not only for vehicles but also for many industrial equipment requiring such lightweight lifting devices. The most common scenario for car jacks is tire replacement. If a tire leaks or bursts on highways or remote roads without timely rescue, self-replacement becomes necessary. 2. Jack Classification: Currently, mechanical and hydraulic jacks are commonly used. The former is lightweight and portable, but due to its compact size, its supporting force and stability are slightly weaker. 3. Usage Precautions: In most cases, place the jack 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's advisable to loosen the nuts of the tire to be removed by one turn.
As a veteran who's spent over a decade in auto repair shops, jack placement is a big deal. For SUVs like the Haval H6, there are specially designed support points under the body—mainly the frame grooves near the four wheels. You'll find raised metal blocks near the rear wheels and small slots along the door sill under the front wheels. Never jack up the plastic bumper or fuel tank, as it can easily damage the body. I've seen owners place it wrong, causing body deformation that's costly to fix. Safety first: find level ground, engage the parking brake, and chock the wheels before lifting. Go slow with the jack, and don't rush under the car. The owner's manual is your best bet—it has clear diagrams. If unsure, don't force it; call a mechanic to save hassle.
