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 Literature when using the jack supplied with
the vehicle.

-

Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front control arms, front I-braces, suspension arm brackets, rear
stabilizer or differential housing. 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.

Lift the vehicle using the following procedure.

Jacking Points

To lift the front or either side of the front end, position the floor jack or the hoist under the front frame lift points.

To lift the rear or either side of the rear end, position the floor jack or the hoist under the rear lift points.

LIFTING

CAUTION:
-

Do not allow the lift adapters to contact the steering linkage, suspension arms, front I-braces, stabilizer bar, 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 lift adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.

-

Never use the differential housing as a lift point. Damage to the differential housing and cover may occur.

-

Do not lift the vehicle on the rocker panel pinch flange except at the designated lift points or body damage may occur.

Lift the vehicle using the following procedure.

Lifting Points - Drive-On Hoist

CAUTION:  To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on hoist without first checking for
possible interference.

Check for interference between the upright flanges of the hoist rails and the underbody.
