Section 414 (General Information): Jacking: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 (17080) 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 lift the vehicle for any other purpose. Refer to the Owner Literature when using the jack supplied with the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front control arms, front I-braces, suspension arm brackets, 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 (17757) or the rear bumper (17906) of any vehicle. Damage to the bumper covers will occur.
Lift the vehicle using the following procedure.
