Explanation:

When using a vehicle lift, the first step is to check the lifting points. This ensures there are no maintenance issues (like cracks or damage) that could cause failure during lifting and no slippery substances (which could lead to the vehicle slipping off the lift points). Checking lifting points is a fundamental safety check before any lifting operation. The other options (ensuring center of gravity, raising the vehicle, rocking the car) are steps that come after the initial inspection of the lifting points.

Check lifting points for maintenance issues and slippery substances
