Operation and Maintenance
• Set the parking brake and block both the front and rear of the tire
diagonally opposite the jacking position. For example, if the right
front tire is being changed, block the left rear wheel.
• Use a small floor style jack, or low profile scissors jack only.
• Jack the vehicle only from the side of the vehicle, on the main
frame rail, at the point where the tub or floor panel support and
the main frame rail are welded (Figure 24). Alternative locations
include the rear frame rail and the center of the front cross
member.
Lug Nut Torque Specification: 50 ft-lbs, or 41 N-m
Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle
could slip off the jack and fall on you. Never get any part of
your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run
the motor when the vehicle is on a jack. If you need to get
under the vehicle, make sure the vehicle is first located on
a flat solid surface, and is supported securely by automotive
jack stands or, take the vehicle to a service center where a
technician can put it on a hoist.
WARNING!
Jacking any location other than proper jacking
points may cause major vehicle body damage.
CAUTION!
