Description And Operation: Jacking: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
On vehicles equipped with air suspension, the electrical power supply to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to jacking the vehicle. This can be accomplished by disconnecting the battery or turning off the air suspension service switch located in the luggage compartment on the LH side. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
WARNING:
Never 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.
CAUTION:
The jack provided with the vehicle is intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle, never use the jack to hoist the vehicle for any other purpose. Refer to the Owner Guide when using the jack supplied with the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front control arms, crossmember, rear stabilizer or differential housing. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to use jack pressure on either the front bumper or the rear bumper of any vehicle. Damage to the bumper covers will occur.
Lift the vehicle using the Jacking Points procedure in this article.
