To prevent damage, always disengage

fore closing the tailgate.

Warning!

G

The jack is designed exclusively for jacking

up the vehicle at the jack take-up brackets

built into both sides of the vehicle. To help

avoid personal injury, use the jack only to lift

the vehicle during a wheel change. Never

get beneath the vehicle while it is supported

by the jack. Keep hands and feet away from

the area under the lifted vehicle. Always

firmly set parking brake and block wheels

before raising vehicle with jack.

Do not disengage parking brake while the

vehicle is raised. Be certain that the jack is

always vertical (plumb line) when in use, es-

pecially on hills. Always try to use the jack

on level surface.

Make sure that the jack arm is fully seated

in the jack take-up bracket. Always lower

the vehicle onto sufficient capacity jack-

stands before working under the vehicle.
