CAUTION

When raising your vehicle
Make sure to observe the following precautions to reduce the possibility of
death or serious injury:

When using a floor jack, follow the instructions of the manual provided
with the jack.

Do not use the jack that was supplied with your vehicle.

Do not put any part of your body underneath the vehicle when it is sup-
ported only by the floor jack.

Always use floor jack and/or automotive jack stands on a solid, flat, level
surface.

Do not start the hybrid system while the vehicle is supported by the floor
jack.

Stop the vehicle on level, firm ground, firmly set the parking brake and
shift the shift lever to 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 vehicle 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 hybrid system. Other-
wise, the vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling func-
tion. (P. 278)
