Find a flat, level surface (driveway or parking lot is preferred) and place your floor jack under
the side where you will be lifting the car. Make sure you are lifting the car from the designated
jacking points otherwise underbody damage may result.
Start Lifting the Car:
1. Place your jack under the indentation which indicates the proper jacking point.
2. Raise the car using the jack until the wheel is several inches off the ground.
3. Support the vehicle with two jack stands as the vehicle is lifted off the ground.
4. Lower the vehicle onto the jack stands so it is not resting on the jack alone.
5. Never get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack only. The jack may fail.
6. Remember that the parking brake only locks the rear wheels, and not the fronts.
Once the car is off the ground, loosen the lug nuts several turns so they can be rotated by hand.
If this is difficult to do, lower the car onto the ground to loosen the lugs, then lift the car again.
