Lifting the Vehicle (STS-V)
{ CAUTION:
Lifting a vehicle can cause an injury. The vehicle
can slip off the jack and roll over you or other
people. You and they could be badly injured.
Find a level place to lift your vehicle. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
2. Move the shift lever in PARK (P) by pressing
the button on the front of the shift lever while
pushing the lever all the way toward the front
of the vehicle. Release the button.
3. With your right foot still holding the brake
pedal down, set the parking brake with your
left foot.
4. Turn off the engine.
To be even more certain the vehicle will not move,
you can put blocks in front of and behind the wheels.
Also, see Shifting Into Park on page 2-34 and
Parking Brake on page 2-33 for additional
information.
{ CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.
{ CAUTION:
Raising the vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned can damage the vehicle or the vehicle
may fall and cause your or others injury.
If you ever use a jack to lift your vehicle, follow the
instructions that came with the jack, and be sure to
use the correct lifting points to avoid damaging
your vehicle.
