WHICH MAY RESULT IN SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE DURING THESE OPERATIONS.

ON THE GROUND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE.

hoist the vehicle for any other service. 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 or rear control arms, halfshafts or front wheel Constant Velocity (CV) joints.
Severe damage to the vehicle could result.
