Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation

JACKING

WARNING:
- Do not run the engine when jacking the vehicle. The wheels contacting the ground could cause the vehicle to move. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- Make sure the jack and jack stands are correctly located to prevent the vehicle from falling. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- Wheel chocks should be used to prevent the vehicle from rolling and falling off the jack. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

CAUTION: The service jack provided with the vehicle is only intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated tire. Never use the service jack to hoist the vehicle for any other service. Refer to the Owner Guide when using the jack supplied with the vehicle.
