HOISTING

A conventional floor jack may be used at the jacking locations. Refer to the graphics
that show jacking locations. However, a floor jack or frame hoist must never be used
on any other parts of the underbody.
Never use a floor jack directly under the differential housing of a loaded truck or
damage to your vehicle may result.

JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES

If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper
cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures
in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer's operating
instructions and precautions.
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode
and cause personal injury.
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.
