Maintenance and care
■ When raising your vehicle
Make sure to observe the following to reduce the possibility of death or serious
injury.
● When using a floor jack, follow the instructions of the manual provided with the
jack.
● Do not use the jack that was supplied with your vehicle.
● Do not put any part of your body or get underneath the vehicle supported only by
the floor jack.
● Always use floor jack and/or automotive jack stands on a solid, flat, level surface.
● Do not start the engine while the vehicle is supported by the floor jack.
● Stop the vehicle on level firm ground, firmly set the parking brake and put the shift
lever in P.
● Make sure to set the floor jack properly at the jack point.
Raising the vehicle with an improperly positioned floor jack will damage the vehi-
cle and may cause the vehicle to fall off the floor jack.
● Do not raise the vehicle while someone is in the vehicle.
● When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath the
floor jack.
● When raising the vehicle, ensure that there is sufficient surrounding space. The
vehicle’s position may change slightly when lowered.
● Lift up the vehicle using a floor jack such as
the one shown in the illustration.
