CAUTIONNever place jack under any part of vehicle underbody. DO NOT attempt to raise one entire side of vehicle by placing a jack midway between front and rear wheels, as permanent body damage could occur.
CAUTIONDO NOT raise vehicle by hoisting or jacking against front lower control arms. If rear axle, fuel tank, spare tire and liftgate will be removed for service, place additional weight on rear end of vehicle. This will prevent tipping as center of gravity changes.

To raise vehicle on single- and twin-post type hoists, ensure hoist pads contact vehicle frame behind front control arm pivots and inside rear wheels on rear axle housing. Always use appropriate hoist adapters. (Scheme 6)
