Hoisting the vehicle
If a garage jack is used to lift the vehicle, the two jack attachments points should be used.
They are specially reinforced to bear the weight of the vehicle (see the illustration). A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the jack is positioned so that the vehicle cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures. The vehicle's gross vehicle weight is between 5770 lbs (2630 kg) and 6080 lbs (2760 kg). Use a jack and stands rated for this weight.
If a two-post hoist is used to lift the vehicle, the front and rear lift arm pads should be centered under the reinforced lift plates on the inboard edge of the sill rail (see illustration).

The voltage in the ignition system is dangerous!
Do not touch spark plugs, ignition cables or

SIPS/WHIPS/IC systems yourself. Any
interference in the system could cause malfunction

Before test-driving the 2012 Volvo S60, I considered Volvos to be functional
cars that included cutting-edge safety features. Put another way, I thought
Volvos were dutifully practical family cars ...
