Maintenance: Service and Repair

JACKING

WARNING:
^ ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR SUSPENSION, THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM MUST BE SHUT OFF PRIOR TO JACKING THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY OR TURNING OFF THE AIR SUSPENSION SERVICE SWITCH LOCATED IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT ON THE LH SIDE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED INFLATION OR DEFLATION OF THE AIR SPRINGS WHICH MAY RESULT IN SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE DURING THESE OPERATIONS.
^ 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 hoist the vehicle for any other purpose. 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 control arms, rear stabilizer or differential housing. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.
^ Do no 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 Jacking Points procedure.

Jacking Points







Push the air suspension service switch to the OFF position.







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

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR SUSPENSION, THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM MUST BE SHUT OFF PRIOR TO LIFTING THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY OR TURNING OFF THE AIR SUSPENSION SERVICE SWITCH LOCATED IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT ON THE LH SIDE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED INFLATION OR DEFLATION OF THE AIR SPRINGS WHICH MAY RESULT IN SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE DURING THESE OPERATIONS.

CAUTION:
^ Do not allow the hoist adapters to contact the steering linkage, suspension arms, stabilizer bar, rear subframe stabilizer brackets 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 hoist adapters of two-post hoists prior to lifting the vehicle.
^ Never use the differential housing as a lift point. Damage to the differential housing and cover may occur.

Lift the vehicle using the Lifting Points procedure.

Lifting Points - Drive-On Lift

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.

If an interference exists, modify the hoist flanges or build up the approach ramps as necessary to provide clearance.
