Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation
JACKING
WARNING: 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 lift 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 suspension arm brackets, rear stabilizer, differential housing or
convertible cross brace. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.
-
Do not attempt to use jack pressure on either the front bumper or the rear bumper of any vehicle. Damage to the bumper covers will
occur.
Jack the vehicle using the jacking points shown.
Jacking Points - Front
To jack the front end, lift at the pinch welds located at the front opening of the rocker panels.
Jacking Points - Rear
To jack the rear end, lift at the pinch welds located at the rear opening of the rocker panels.
LIFTING
CAUTION:
-
Do not allow the lift adapters to contact the steering linkage, suspension arms, stabilizer arms, or to compress the lower suspension arm
stabilizer bar insulator. Damage to the suspension, exhaust and steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when
positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
-
Never use the differential housing as a lift point. Damage to the differential housing and cover may occur.
-
To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on lift without first checking for possible
interference. Check for interference between the upright flanges of the hoist rails and the underbody. If an interference exists, modify the
hoist flanges or build up the approach ramps as necessary to provide clearance.
