Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation

JACKING AND LIFTING

WARNING:

-

When jacking or lifting the vehicle, block all wheels remaining on the ground. Set the parking brake if the rear wheels will remain on the
ground. These actions help prevent unintended vehicle movement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury.

-

Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. The jack could unintentionally lower. Always support vehicle with floor
stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

-

Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the vehicle on an uneven or soft surface may result in
vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or jackstand. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

-

Position the hoist lift arms as shown in the illustration. Incorrect positioning could result in vehicle slipping or falling from the hoist.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

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 hoist the vehicle for any other purpose.

-

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.

-

Do not attempt to use jack pressure on either the front bumper or the rear bumper of any vehicle. Damage to bumper covers will occur.

-

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