SECTION 100-02: Jacking and Lifting
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Jacking
WARNING: Never run the engine with one wheel off the ground, such as when changing a
tire. The wheel still on the ground could cause the vehicle to move.
CAUTION: The jack (17080) provided with the vehicle is intended to be used in an
emergency for changing a deflated tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle, never use the jack to
lift the vehicle for any other purpose. Refer to the Owner Guide when using the jack supplied
with the vehicle.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the suspension
arm brackets, rear stabilizer or differential housing or convertible cross brace. Severe damage
to the vehicle could result.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to use jack pressure on either the front bumper (17757) or the
rear bumper (17906) of any vehicle. Damage to the bumper covers will occur.
Lift the vehicle using the Jacking Points procedure in this section.
Jacking Points
To lift the front or either side of the front end, position the floor jack under the front frame lift points.
