̈ Place jack 3 on firm ground.
̈ Position jack 3 under the take-up
bracket 2 so that it is always vertical
(plumb-line) as seen from the side,
even if the vehicle is parked on an in-
cline.
̈ Turn crank 4 clockwise until jack 3
is fully seated in take-up bracket 2
and the jack base evenly meets the
ground.
̈ Continue to turn crank 4 until the
wheel is a maximum of 1.2 in (3 cm)
from the ground.
! Do not position the jack on the body of the
vehicle, as this may cause damage to the
vehicle.
! Vehicles with factory-mounted
running-boards*:
Your vehicle is equipped with a scissors-type
jack (located under the cargo compartment
floor) designed for use with factory-mounted
running boards. Only use this jack when jacking
up vehicles with factory-mounted running boards
as otherwise the vehicle’s underbody can be
damaged. See separate instructions for
scissors-type jack.
