(a) As a rule, the vehicle must be unloaded when jacking up. Never jack up or lift up the vehicle loaded
with things of heavy weight.
(b) When removing any parts of heavy weight like the engine and transmission, the center of gravity of
the vehicle moves. Place a balance weight so as to keep it from rolling, or hold the jacking support
location using the mission jack.
2. NOTICE FOR USING 4 POST LIFT
(a) Follow the instruction manual for a safety operation.
(b) Do not damage tires or wheels with a free wheel beam.
(c) Using a wheel stopper, fix the vehicle.

(b) Use a safety stand with a rubber attachment, as shown
in the illustration.
(c) Support the specified location with a jack and safety stand
accurately.
(d) When jacking up the front wheels, release the parking
brake and place wheel stoppers only behind the rear
wheels. When jacking up the rear wheels, place wheel
stoppers only in front of the front wheels.
(e) Do not work or leave the vehicle supported only by a jack.
Be sure to support the vehicle with a safety stand.
(f) When jacking up only the front wheels or only the rear wheels, place wheel stoppers to both sides of
the wheels that contact ground.
(g) When jacking down the vehicle with its front wheels jacked up, release the parking brake and place
wheel stoppers only in front of the rear wheels. When jacking down the vehicle with its rear wheels

(f) Place the tires.
CAUTION:
Do not place the deployment direction of the curtain shield
airbag assy LH facing toward the ground.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the cur-
tain shield airbag assy LH is tied.
(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the curtain
shield airbag assy is tied. The top tire should have
the wheel installed.
NOTICE:
Do not place the SST(s) connector under the tire because
the SST connector could be damaged.
(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is highly danger-
ous when looseness in the wire harness results in the tires
coming free due to the shock from the airbag deployment.
HINT:
Place the SST(s) connector and the wire harness inside tires.
Secure at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
(g) Install the SST(s).
Connect one SST(s) connector to the SST(s) connector
connected to the curtain shield airbag.
SST 09082±00700
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST(s) connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, se-
cure some slack for the SST(s) wire harness inside the tire.
(h) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Connect the red clip of the SST(s) to the battery
positive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST(s)
to the battery negative (±) terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of
the tire to which the curtain shield airbag assy LH is
tied.
(3) Press the activation switch of the SST(s) and
deploy the airbag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys as the LED of the SST(s) activation switch
comes on.
