Jacking Positions

Warning

•  Improperly jacking a vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle can slip off the jack and cause serious injury. Use only the correct front and rear jacking points and block the wheels.

•  When jacking up a vehicle using a garage jack, park the vehicle on a flat and hard floor surface. If the vehicle is jacked up on an inclined or soft floor surface, the vehicle may become unstable and slip off the jack resulting in serious injury.

•  When jacking up a vehicle using a garage jack, perform the work on a flat floor surface. If the vehicle is jacked up on an uneven floor surface, the garage jack does not move smoothly and the vehicle may slip off the jack resulting in serious injury.

Caution

•  Before jacking up the vehicle using a garage jack, verify the following and if there is any problem, do not use the garage jack to jack up the vehicle.

?  Verify that the garage jack moves smoothly on the floor surface.

?  Verify that the jack up position is free of damage.

•  Before jacking up the vehicle, remove any cargo and empty the vehicle.

•  Set wheel blocks on the tires opposite to the side being jacked up to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally while jacking it up.

•  Use safety stands (rigid racks) to support the vehicle after jacking it up.

Note

•  To prevent obstruction between the jack body and front bumper when the jack body is inserted, use a low-floor type jack.
