5. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
5.1 Lifting the Vehicle
5.1.1 Using a Jack:
WARNING:
IMPORTANT:
Read the following steps and warnings before attempting to lift the vehicle.
Failure to follow these warning and guidelines may result in bodily injury or death
WARNING:
•
Only lift the vehicle in an area with firm, level ground.
•
Place the drive selector in the park position before lifting. When one rear wheel is lifted off the
ground, having the vehicle in the park drive mode will not prevent the vehicle from moving and
possibly slipping off the jack.
•
To prevent inadvertent vehicle movement, always set the parking brake fully. Block the other
wheels still in contact with the ground at front and rear.
•
Only lift one point at a time. Do not attempt to lift vehicle off ground entirely using a jack and
jack stands. If the entire vehicle needs to be lifted off the ground, use a hoist.
•
Do not lift either rear tire more than 1 in (25 mm) off the ground.
•
Do not lift the front tire more than 6 in (152 mm) off the ground.
•
Use the correct front (A) and rear (B) jacking points on the vehicle as shown below. Never use
the bumpers or any other part of vehicle for jack support. Jacking points are marked with “Place
Jack Here
” decals.
•
Do not exceed the jack’s maximum permissible load. The jack provided is for emergency wheel
and tire change only.
•
Never go beneath the vehicle while using a jack.
•
To reduce the risk of injury due to inadvertent jack lowering or jack failure, support raised
position with a jack stand.
•
Do not start or run the vehicle while the vehicle is jacked up.
•
Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public road or highway. Always move the
vehicle completely off the road and to the shoulder before attempting repairs. If you cannot find
a firm, level place off of the road, call a service truck.
•
Follow all warnings and instructions to reduce the possibility of injury or damage.
