Where to Place the Jack for Wuling Hongguang?
2 Answers
For the Wuling Hongguang, the jack should be placed under the front passenger seat, on the raised position of the beam. Precautions for using the jack on Wuling Hongguang: 1. Never start the engine when the vehicle is lifted by the jack, as the vibration of the engine or the rotation of the wheels may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack, leading to danger. 2. To ensure safety, different car models have designated positions for jack placement. Do not support the jack on parts like the bumper or crossbeam. 3. Never work under a vehicle that is not properly supported. When changing a wheel, passengers should not stay in the car, as their movements might cause the vehicle to slip off the jack.
I've been driving a Wuling Hongguang for over a decade and changing tires is a regular task. The jack must be positioned at the dedicated support points on the chassis longitudinal beams, specifically near the front and rear wheels. If you crouch down and look, you'll find square indentations or raised metal blocks about 20 centimeters behind the front wheels and about 20 centimeters in front of the rear wheels. These are the designed jacking points. Never jack at the wrong spots, such as near plastic guards or the fuel tank, as it's very dangerous and can puncture the tank or damage the chassis. Make sure the ground is level, engage the handbrake firmly, and place stones in front of and behind the wheels. After jacking up the car, remember to place a spare tire underneath as a safety measure—I've learned this the hard way when a jack slipped and the spare tire saved the day. It's good practice to familiarize yourself with these support points so you're prepared in an emergency.
