Tesla Model S: Raise Vehicle - 4 Post Lift
Raise
- Position the vehicle centrally between the lift posts.
Warning: To avoid personal injury, use
appropriate equipment when performing this
operation.
Note: Vehicles with air suspension might
need the suspension to be set to "High" or "Very
High" to allow the vehicle to be positioned and
supported correctly on a vehicle lift.
- Carefully drive the vehicle onto the 4 post lift. Stop the
vehicle when equidistant between front and rear of the lift.
Tip: Have an assistant monitor the vehicle to
ensure that the vehicle is centered on the 4 post
lift.
Warning: Do not work on an
incorrectly supported vehicle.
- Before raising the vehicle, ensure that no part of the vehicle
is in danger of contacting the ceiling, tool boxes, or other items
in the service area.
Caution: If the procedure requires the rear
doors or liftgate to be open while the vehicle is
raised, closely watch the position of the rear doors
or liftgate as the vehicle is being raised to avoid
contact with the lift mechanism, ceiling, or objects
hanging from the ceiling.
Lower
- Before lowering, ensure that no tools, equipment, or other items
are under the vehicle.
