Warning
To minimize the risk of personal injury, do not put
any portion of your body under the vehicle while
the vehicle is on the jack. The jack is provided for
emergency wheel and tire changing only. If the
vehicle is to be serviced, support the vehicle on
safety stands. Never start the engine while the
vehicle is supported on the jack.
On vehicles equipped with a limited slip axle, n ver
run the engine with one wheel off the ground, such
as when changing a tire. The wheel still on the
ground could cause the vehicle to move.
When lifting a vehicle with the vehicle jack or any floor
jack, set the parking brake and block the diagonally
opposite wheel to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Caution
Do not use the differential cover as a lifting point. If
any lifting device is allowed to contact the cover at
any point where the cover joins the housing, leaks
and/or damage to the differential cover may occur.
Position the floor jack under the axles or shock absorbers,
as close to the wheels as possible. Refer to the illustration,
also shown on the jacking decal and in the vehicle owner
guide.
