Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions must be observed when raising the vehicle to carry out service operations:

• Never rely on a jack alone to support a vehicle.
• Always use suitable vehicle stands to provide rigid support.
• When working beneath a vehicle, whenever possible use a vehicle hoist instead of a jack and vehicle stands.
• Make sure that the vehicle is standing on firm, level ground before using a jack.
• Do not rely on the parking brake alone. Chock the wheels and put the automatic transmission in PARK position, if possible.
• Check that any lifting equipment used has adequate capacity for the load being lifted and is in correct working order.
