CAUTION
CAUTION: Only frame contact hoisting equipment
can be used on this vehicle. All vehicles have a
fully independent rear suspension. The vehicles
cannot be hoisted using equipment designed to lift
a vehicle by the rear axle. If this type of hoisting
equipment is used, damage to rear suspension
components will occur.
CAUTION: If the vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) System, the tire/wheel
assembly needs to be reinstalled in the same loca-
tion it is removed from or the TPM System (sen-
sors) will need to be retrained. Mark each tire/wheel
assembly indicating location, prior to its removal. If
the tire/wheel assemblies are switched, rotated or
replaced, the TPM System needs to be retrained.
(Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING/SENSOR - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
CAUTION: At no time when servicing a vehicle, can
a sheet metal screw, bolt or other metal fastener be
installed in the shock tower to take the place of an
original plastic clip. Also, NO holes can be drilled
into the front shock tower in the area shown (Fig.
2), for the installation of any metal fasteners into
the shock tower. Because of the minimum clear-
ance in this area, installation of metal fasteners
could damage the coil spring coating and lead to a
corrosion failure of the spring.
