Warning!

G

The jack is designed exclusively for jacking

up the vehicle at the jack take-up brackets

built into both sides 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 engage the electronic parking brake

and block wheels before raising vehicle with

jack.

Do not disengage electronic parking brake

while the vehicle is raised. Be certain that

the jack is always vertical (plumb line) when

in use, especially on hills. Always try to use

the jack on level surface. Make sure the jack

arm is fully seated in the jack take-up brack-

et. Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient

capacity jackstands before working under

the vehicle.
