Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair
LIFTING AND JACKING THE VEHICLE
CAUTION:
-
To help avoid personal injury, always use jack stands when you are working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.
-
To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is
supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed.
NOTE: When you are jacking or lifting a vehicle at the frame side rails or other prescribed lift points, be certain that the lift pads do not contact the
catalytic converter, the brake pipes or the fuel lines. If such contact occurs, vehicle damage or unsatisfactory vehicle performance may result.
Before you begin any lifting procedure, be sure the vehicle is on a clean, hard, level surface. Be sure all the lifting equipment meets weight standards
and is in good working order. Be sure all the vehicle loads are equally distributed and secure. If you are only supporting the vehicle at the frame side
rails, make sure the lifting equipment does not put too much stress on or weaken the frame side rails.
If you use any other lifting methods than those called out, take special care not to damage the fuel tanks, the exhaust system or the underbody.
NOTE: When you are jacking the vehicle at the front locations, be certain that the jack or the jack lift pad does not contact the front fascia, front
fascia air dam, or the front fenders. If such contact occurs, vehicle damage may result. When jacking at selected front locations additional clearance
may be required for the jacking points.
