Vehicle Lifting: Service Precautions

Jacking

Safety Precautions

WARNING:  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 raise the vehicle for any other purpose. Refer to the Driver Handbook when using the jack supplied with the
vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

The following safety precautions must be observed when raising the vehicle to carry out service operations:

-

Never rely on a jack alone to support a vehicle. Always use suitable vehicle stands to provide rigid support.

-

When working beneath a vehicle, whenever possible use a vehicle hoist instead of a jack and vehicle stands.

-

Make sure that the vehicle is standing on firm, level ground before using a jack.

-

Do not rely on the parking brake alone; chock the wheels and put the automatic transmission into Park if possible.

-

Check that any lifting equipment used has adequate capacity for the load being lifted and is in correct working order.
