Vehicle Jack
1. Jack arm
2. Jack base
See illustration for proper storage of jack. Before storing the jack on the felt in the spare wheel well, the jack arm
must be lowered almost to the base of the jack.
Warning !
The jack is designed exclusively for jacking up the vehicle at the jack tubes built into either side of the
vehicle. To help avoid personal injury, use the jack only to lift the vehicle during a wheel change.
Never get beneath the vehicle while it is supported by the jack. Keep hands and feet away from the area
under the lifted vehicle. Always firmly set parking brake and block wheels before raising vehicle with jack.
Do not disengage parking brake while the vehicle is raised. Be certain that the jack is always vertical when in
use, especially on hills. Always try to use the jack on level surface. Be sure that the jack arm is fully inserted
in the jack tube. Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient capacity jackstands before working under the
vehicle.
