A CAUTION:
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is
dangerous. If the vehicle slips
off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.

A CAUTION:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly
positioned can damage the vehicle and even
make the vehicle fall.
To help avoid personal
injury and vehicle damage, be sure to
fit the jack
lift head into the proper location before raising
the vehicle. 3. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack handle to the
right. Raise the vehicle
far enough off the ground for
the
spare tire to fit under the vehicle. Remove all
wheel nuts and take off the flat tire.
