On a hard, slippery surface (such as a tiled floor), use an anti-
skid rubber mat or something similar to help prevent the jack
from slipping.
Position the jack only at the described vehicle lift points.
Before you raise your vehicle, always make sure the jack claw
properly grips the vertical rib under the sill so that the jack
does not slip off when you are raising the vehicle → Fig. 216 .
Never have any part of your body (such as your arm or leg)
under the vehicle when it is supported by the jack. Never let
other persons have any part of their body under the vehicle,
either!
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, always
make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never lift the vehicle when it is tilted or inclined to one side or
the engine is running.
Never lift the vehicle when more than 1 tire is flat or damaged.
Do not start the engine while the vehicle is supported by a
jack. Engine vibrations may cause the vehicle to slip off the
jack.
