Vehicle Damage Warnings

WARNING:
^ THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM MUST BE SHUT OFF PRIOR TO HOISTING, JACKING OR TOWING AN AIR SUSPENSION VEHICLE. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY TURNING OFF THE AIR SUSPENSION SWITCH. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN UNEXPECTED INFLATION OR DEFLATION OF THE AIR SPRINGS, WHICH CAN RESULT IN SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE DURING THESE OPERATIONS.
^ EXHAUST GASES CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE, WHICH IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL. REPAIR EXHAUST SYSTEM LEAKS IMMEDIATELY. NEVER OPERATE THE ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.

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

Damage to suspension, exhaust and steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the lift adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
^ To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on lift without first checking for possible interference.
