WARNING
When lifting a vehicle, observe the following
guidelines to reduce the possibility of death or
serious injury:
• Follow the instructions for lifting the vehicle.
• No part of the body must be under
the vehicle if it is supported by a jack.
Persons may be injured.
• Do not start the engine or let it run if
the vehicle is jacked up.
• Stop the vehicle on a horizontal and firm surface,
apply the parking brake firmly and engage "P"
(automatic transmission) or reverse (manual
transmission). If necessary, support the wheel
diagonally to the lifting point.
• Make sure the jack is correctly placed on 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 lean under the vehicle if it is
only supported by a jack; use solid
vehicle supports.
• Do not lift the vehicle if there is a
person in the vehicle.
• When lifting, do not place any object
under or over the lifter.
NOTICE
Make sure the jack is positioned correctly to avoid
damaging your vehicle.
