the jack head fits in. The front notch is 9 inches
(23 cm) back from the front wheel well. The
rear notch is 8 inches (20 cm) forward from the rear
wheel well. As is shown by the diagram, if your
vehicle has flared side moldings, both front and rear
notches are 18 inches (46 cm) from the wheel
wells.
Position the jack and raise the jack head until it fits
firmly into the notch in the vehicle’s frame nearest
the flat tire. Put the compact spare tire near you.

CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get
under a vehicle when it is supported only
by a jack.

CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned can damage the vehicle and even
make the vehicle fall. To help avoid personal
injury and vehicle damage, be sure to fit the
jack lift head into the proper location before
raising the vehicle.
