Hoisting the vehicle
If a garage jack is used to lift the vehicle, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially reinforced to bear theweight of the vehicle. A garage jack can alsobe placed under the front of the engine sup-port frame. Take care not to damage thesplash guard under the engine. Ensure thatthe jack is positioned so that the vehicle can-not slide off it. Always use axle stands or sim-ilar structures. If a two-post hoist is used to lift the vehicle, the front and rear lift arm pads should becentered under the reinforced lift plates onthe inboard edge of the sill rail (see illustra-tion).
Emission inspection readiness
What is an Onboard Diagnostic System
(OBD II)?
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized engine management system. It stores diag-nostic information about your vehicle's emis-sion controls. It can light the Check Enginelight (MIL) if it detects an emission control"fault." A "fault" is a component or systemthat is not performing within an expectedrange. A fault may be permanent or tempo-rary. OBD II will store a message about anyfault.
