Using the Jack
WARNING
• Jacking up a vehicle on slope or soft
ground is extremely dangerous. Be
sure to jack up the vehicle on a firm,
level surface.
• Set the jack in the correct position.
Do not forget to first apply the
parking brake and place chocks
around the wheels.
• When a rear wheel is jacked up, the
parking brake has no effect. Failing
to first put chocks in the correct
places would be dangerous because
the vehicle could move.
• It might start moving when the
engine power is transmitted to the
rear axle even when one of the
wheels on the axle is raised clear of
the ground. Do not start the engine
with any rear wheel in contact with
the ground.
• Do not get under a vehicle and no
person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that
supported by a jack. Failure to
observe this precaution could lead to
an accident if the jack were to slip.
• When jacking up a rear differential
lock model, be sure to switch off all
of the differential locks.
Models with rear differential lock,
any transmission of torque to the
rear wheels can make the vehicle
move even if one rear wheel is off
the ground. If any rear wheel is on
the ground, do not apply torque to
the rear wheels.
