- Make sure the jack* is stable. If the ground
underneath the jack* is slippery or soft, the
jack can slip or sink in - risk of injury!
- Use only the jack* supplied with your vehicle
to raise the vehicle. If you use a jack from a
different vehicle, your vehicle may slip off
the jack - risk of injury!
