If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take
it to a service center where it can be raised on
a lift.
Never start or run the engine while the vehicle

is on a jack.

surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.

If your vehicle is equipped with an air suspension
system, there is a feature which allows the auto-
