STANDARD PROCEDURE - HOISTING
Refer to Owner's Manual provided with vehicle for proper emergency jacking procedures.
WARNING: The hoisting and jack lifting points provided are for a complete vehicle. When the engine or rear suspension is removed from a vehicle, the center of gravity is altered making some hoisting conditions unstable. Properly support or secure vehicle to hoisting device when these conditions exist.
CAUTION: Do not position hoisting device on suspension components, damage to vehicle can result. Do not attempt to raise one entire side of the vehicle by placing a floor jack midway between the front and rear wheels. This practice may result in permanent damage to the body.
When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used to lift the vehicle and support the raised vehicle with jack stands.
A floor jack or any lifting device, must never be used on any part of the underbody other then the described areas.
