shown in the image) until the top of
the jack contacts the jacking point.
Make sure that the jacking point tab
is resting in the jack notch.
3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack
handle bar and the jack handle, until
the tire is off the ground.
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone

place any portion of their body under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.

level as the vehicle is parked.
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:
• Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.

weight (load) or fit the jacking point.
• Do not use while the engine is running.
• Use only where the ground is firm and level.
• Use only at the jacking points.
• Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
