Jacking and Lifting Points


Refer to: Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

NOTICE: The jack supplied with the vehicle is intended for use in an emergency flat tire replacement. To avoid damage to the vehicle, never use the jack to lift the vehicle for any other purpose.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to use a jack on the front bumper or rear bumper on any vehicle. Damage to the bumper covers will occur.

NOTICE: Place blocks under the lifting points when using a two-post lift.

NOTICE: Damage to suspension, exhaust system, or steering linkage components may occur if care is not taken when installing lift adapters before lifting the vehicle.

NOTICE: To avoid possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the lift without first checking for possible interference.

NOTICE: When lifting the vehicle on a two-post lift, use care when positioning the vehicle so that the lift arms do not interfere with suspension components, mounting brackets, or stabilizer bar brackets, if equipped. Also, be careful when positioning the lift to avoid possible damage to the axle or rear cover.
