JACKING

Jacking Points

WARNING:
^ IF EQUIPPED, THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM MUST BE SHUT DOWN PRIOR TO HOISTING, JACKING OR TOWING AN AIR SUSPENSION VEHICLE. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY TURNING OFF THE AIR SUSPENSION SWITCH LOCATED BELOW THE GLOVE BOX IN THE LOWER RIGHT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER FOOTWELL. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED INFLATION OR DEFLATION OF THE AIR SPRINGS WHICH MAY RESULT IN SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE DURING THESE OPERATIONS.
^ DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE WHEN JACKING THE VEHICLE. THE WHEELS CONTACTING THE GROUND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO MOVE.
^ MAKE SURE THE JACK IS CORRECTLY POSITIONED TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM FALLING.
^ WHEEL CHOCKS SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AND FALLING OFF THE JACK.

Refer to the Owner Guide for additional information on vehicle jacking.

WARNING:
^ IF EQUIPPED, THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM MUST BE SHUT DOWN PRIOR TO HOISTING, JACKING OR TOWING AN AIR SUSPENSION VEHICLE. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY TURNING OFF THE AIR SUSPENSION SWITCH LOCATED BELOW THE GLOVE BOX IN THE LOWER RIGHT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER FOOTWELL. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED INFLATION OR DEFLATION OF THE AIR SPRINGS WHICH MAY RESULT IN SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE DURING THESE OPERATIONS.
^ WHEN RAISING A VEHICLE ON A TWIN-POST HOIST, USE EXTREME CARE POSITIONING THE HOISTING FORKS TO AVOID INTERFERENCE WITH THE PLASTIC MIDSHIP FUEL TANK.

CAUTION:
^ When raising a vehicle on a twin-post hoist, use care when positioning the vehicle so that the hoisting forks do not interfere with the shock absorber mounting brackets or stabilizer mounting brackets, if so equipped, or damage the axle carrier or rear cover.
^ Damage to suspension, exhaust and steering linkage components can occur if care is not exercised when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.

Hoist adapters for heavy-duty hoists must be positioned according to the hoist manufacturer's recommendations. Make sure the hoist has an adequate lifting capacity for the vehicle being lifted.
