CAUTION
■
When raising your vehicle
Make sure to observe the following to reduce the possibility of death or serious
injury:
●
Do not use the jack that was supplied with your vehicle.
●
Do not put any part of your body or get underneath the vehicle supported only by
the floor jack.
Always use automotive jack stands on a solid, level surface.
●
Do not start the engine while the vehicle is supported by the floor jack.
●
Stop the vehicle on level firm ground, set the parking brake and put the shift lever
in “P”.
●
Make sure to set the floor jack properly at the jack point.
Raising the vehicle with an improperly positioned floor jack will damage the vehi-
cle and may cause the vehicle to fall off the floor jack.
●
Do not raise the vehicle while someone is in the vehicle.
●
When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath the
floor jack.
●
Vehicles with electronically modulated air suspension:
Be sure to turn off the height control and stop the engine. Otherwise, the vehicle
height may change in the automatic leveling function. (
