WARNING!
Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The
vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never get any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run
the engine while the vehicle is on a jack. If you need
to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service
center where it can be raised on a lift.
Preparations For Jacking
•
Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, avoid ice or
slippery areas, set the parking brake and place the
gear selector in PARK. Turn OFF the ignition.
•
Turn on the Hazard Warning Flasher.
•
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the
vehicle is being jacked.
•
Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally
opposite the jacking position. For example, if changing
the right front tire, block the left rear wheel.
