Vehicle Damage Warnings

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, rear control arms, 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.
- 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.
- To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on hoist without first checking for possible interference.
- Do not position the lift pads under the No.3 crossmember.
