Measure

1.1

Drive the vehicle onto a suitable pit and secure using the parking brake

When using a pit.

1.2

Drive vehicle onto a measuring lifting platform, secure with the parking brake and lift up

When using a measuring lifting platform.

2

Prepare vehicle for measurement


Vehicle must be on its wheels for the measurement.
Otherwise the measurement will be inaccurate.

 The transmission suspension or exhaust system may not be under stress during the measurement.

If necessary
