Jacking up the vehicle

1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission, turn the ignition
key to the "LOCK" position, move the gearshift lever to
the "R" (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with automated manual transmission, move
the allshift lever to the "R" (Reverse) position, turn the
ignition key to the "LOCK" position.
With an automated manual transmission vehicle, confirm
that there is an "A" or "1" in the allshift indicator display.
4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set up a warning triangle,
flashing signal lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from the
vehicle, and have all your passengers leave the vehicle.

WARNING
!
● Be sure to apply a chock to the correct tyre when
jacking up the vehicle. If the vehicle moves while
jacked up, the jack could slip out of position and
cause an accident.
NOTE
● The chock shown in the illustration does not come with
your vehicle. It is recommended that you keep one in the
vehicle for use if needed.
● If a chock is not available, use a stone or any other object
that is large enough to hold the wheel in position.
