ELEVATING THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE
Some service procedures require that the vehicle be elevated. Before
proceeding, remember to:
• Always position the vehicle on a firm, level surface before elevating.
• Only use an appropriate sized lift or jack.
• Refrain from positioning a jack or jack stand under any components other
than the vehicle frame.
• Refrain from allowing the vehicle to remain elevated on a floor jack for an
extended period of time.
PLACING ONTO JACK STANDS
1. Place the floor jack directly beneath the center of the vehicle (either front or
rear).
2. This vehicle is not equipped with dedicated jacking points. Make sure that
the floor jack only makes contact with the vehicle frame only while lifting.
3. After vehicle is elevated to desired height, place jack stands under the
vehicle frame on both sides of the floor jack, then lower the vehicle until the
jack stands come into contact with the vehicle frame.
