WARNING
^
ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR SUSPENSION, THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE AIR SUSPENSION
SYSTEM MUST BE SHUT OFF PRIOR TO JACKING THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY DISCONNECTING
THE BATTERY OR TURNING OFF THE AIR SUSPENSION SERVICE SWITCH LOCATED IN THE LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT ON THE LH SIDE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED INFLATION OR DEFLATION
OF THE AIR SPRINGS WHICH MAY RESULT IN SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE DURING THESE OPERATIONS.
^
NEVER RUN THE ENGINE WITH ONE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND, SUCH AS WHEN CHANGING A TIRE. THE WHEEL
STILL ON THE GROUND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE.
CAUTION
^
The jack provided with the vehicle is intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle, never
use the jack to hoist the vehicle for any other purpose. Refer to the Owner Guide when using the jack supplied with the vehicle.
^
Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front control arms, rear stabilizer or differential housing. Severe damage to the
vehicle could result.
^
Do no attempt to use jack pressure on either the front bumper or the rear bumper of any vehicle. Damage to the bumper covers will occur.
Lift the vehicle using the Jacking Points procedure in this section.
Push the air suspension service switch to the OFF position.
To lift the front or either side of the front end, position the floor jack or the hoist under the front frame lift points.
