2 Jack base
See illustration for proper storage of
jack.
Before storing the jack on the felt in
the spare wheel well, the jack arm
must be lowered almost to the base of
the jack.
Warning!
The jack is designed exclusively for
jacking up the vehicle at the jack
tubes built into either side of the
vehicle. Use the jack only to lift the
vehicle during a wheel change.
Never get beneath the vehicle while
it is supported by the jack. Keep
hands and feet away from the area
under the lifted vehicle. Always
firmly set parking brake and block
wheels before raising vehicle with
jack.
Do not disengage parking brake
while the vehicle is raised. Be certain
that the jack is always vertical when
in use, especially on hills. Always try
to use the jack on level surface. Be
sure that the jack arm is fully
inserted in the jack tube. Always
lower the vehicle onto sufficient
capacity jackstands before working
under the vehicle.
