Jacking confusion

Click image to enlarge


I’m looking in the manual for information on jacking the car up. I’ve got deployable side steps (well, the passenger one deploys, the drivers side is stuck in the out position!).

The manual is confusing. It says warning

“The deployable side steps must be in the stored position and the system switched off, when raising the vehicle. Do not raise the vehicle with the deployable side steps in the deployed position.”

But then it says in notes

“If the vehicle is fitted with deployable side steps, the side steps must be in deployed position to allow access to the jacking points.”

Which is it? Deployed or not?

From what I have seen the jacking point is part of the deployable steps which would point to the steps being stowed, not deployed if that makes sense.

Agree, steps stowed and switched off, using the step bracket to jack up.

Thanks for the replies.

As my drivers step is stuck in the deployed position, it means I can’t Jack that side of the car 😭

I’ll have to sort the step problem first then. 2017 (67) Vogue SE Corinthian Grey

You can remove the step by undoing 4 hex bolts and then jack the front up on the bracket which is not motorised.

Or you could put the car into extended mode leave the door open then work on the step.

My driver’s side step was also stuck recently. I managed to sort it with silicon spray at all the joints and giving the step a helpful push with my foot at the time it was trying to close. Hope this may help. 2016 SDV8 AB

For anyone interested, after lubricating all the bits and bobs I could see, the step now retracts. Little wins! 2017 (67) Vogue SE Corinthian Grey

Just to be clear when jacking the car up the steps must be under the car? Then the jack placed on the steps brackets? How do you switch the step off so they dont work? Bow down overfinch modified

You don't need to disable them manually. They automatically sense off road or jacking situations and disable themselves. Kev
