Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair

HOISTING AND JACKING

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with the high voltage system, you must thoroughly read and follow all High Voltage Safety procedures. In

addition, before performing any diagnostic or service procedure near a high voltage component, you must perform the High
Voltage Power Down. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury 
See: Hybrid Drive
Systems/Battery System, Hybrid Drive/Service Precautions 

WARNING: The hoisting and jack lifting points provided are for a complete vehicle. When a chassis or drivetrain component is removed from

a vehicle, the center of gravity is altered making some hoisting conditions unstable. Properly support or secure vehicle to hoisting
device when these conditions exist.
