When using a lift or shop jack to raise a vehicle or using rigid rack to support a vehicle, always follow instructions concerning jack-up points and weight limits to prevent the vehicle from falling, which could result in injury. Be especially careful that the vehicle is balanced before raising it. Be sure to set the wheel stoppers when jacking-up only the front or rear side of the vehicle.

CAUTION:

Select the lift attachment so that the side sill does not contact the lift arm.
When using an attachment with two-post lift, align the front end of the attachment with the side spoiler or side garnish in order to prevent damaging the protruded section.

NOTE:

When using a lift, follow its operation manual.
When the side sill cover contacts the lift arm, use a lift attachment.
Do not work or leave unattended while the vehicle is supported with jack, support it with rigid racks.
Be sure to use the rigid racks with rubber attached to cradle to support the vehicle.
When using a lift, use an attachment or something similar.

When using a plate lift, use a rubber attachment. Place the attachment to the specified position of the vehicle, by adjusting front/rear and left/right sides accordingly.
