CAUTION
 When raising your vehicle
Make sure to observe the following precautions to reduce the possibility of
death or serious injury:
 Lift up the vehicle using a floor jack
such as the one shown in the illustra-
tion.
 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 engine 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 in P (multidrive), E, M or R (multi-mode manual transmis-
sion) or R (manual transmission).
 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 object on top of or underneath
the floor jack.
