Jacking the Vehicle

DANGER
A vehicle on a jack may be unstable and slip off of
the jack, injuring anyone beneath it.
• Do not start the vehicle while the vehicle is on a
jack.
• Always remove the key from the switch before
getting off of the vehicle.
• Block the tires when the vehicle is on a jack.
• Do not start the engine while the vehicle is on a jack,
because the engine vibration or wheel movement
could cause the vehicle to slip off of the jack.
• Do not work under the vehicle without jack stands
supporting it. The vehicle could slip off a jack,
injuring any one beneath it.
• When jacking up the front of the vehicle, always
place a 2 x 4 block (or similar material) between the
jack and the vehicle frame.
• The jacking point at the front of the vehicle is under
the front center frame support (Figure 37) and at the
rear it is under the axle (Figure 38).
