any authorized Toyota dealer or workshop, or another
properly qualified and equipped professional, as soon
as possible.

• Do not put any part of your body under
the vehicle when it is jacked up.
Persons may be injured.
• Do not start the engine or let it run if
the vehicle is jacked up.

the lifting point. Lifting a vehicle with an
improperly positioned jack can damage the
vehicle or cause it to fall off the jack and cause
personal injury.
• Never stand under the vehicle if it is
only supported by a jack.
