Notice: Lifting your vehicle improperly can damage
your vehicle and result in costly repairs not
covered by your warranty. To lift your vehicle
properly, follow the advice in this part.
To help prevent vehicle damage:
• Be sure the jack you are using meets the weight
standards for your vehicle and is in good
working order.
• Be sure to place a block or pad between the
jack and the vehicle.
• Make sure the jack you are using only contacts
the jacking location lift points and is not leaning
on any other vehicle components such as the
rocker panels, the floor pan, or the stone guard
moldings.
• Lift only in the areas shown in the following
pictures.
Lifting From the Front
The front lifting points can be accessed from either side
of your vehicle, behind the front tires.

about 15 inches (37 cm) from the rear edge
of the front wheel well.
2. Be sure to place a block or pad between the jack
