Jacking & Lifting: Notes

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 lift the vehicle for any other purpose. Refer to the owners literature when using the jack supplied with the vehicle.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front control arms, cross 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 or the rear bumper of any vehicle. Damage to the bumper covers will occur.

Lift the vehicle using the following procedure.
