4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■ When raising your vehicle
Make sure to observe the following precautions to reduce the possibility of death or
serious injury:
● Do not use the jack that was supplied with your vehicle.
● Do not put any part of your body underneath the vehicle when it is supported
only by the floor jack.
Always use automotive jack stands on a solid, level surface.
● Do not start the hybrid system while the vehicle is supported by the floor jack.
● Stop the vehicle on level, firm ground, firmly set the parking brake and shift the
shift lever to 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.
● Vehicles with electronically modulated air suspension (if equipped):
Be sure to turn off the height control and stop the hybrid system. Otherwise, the
vehicle height may change in the automatic leveling function. (P. 242)
● Lift up the vehicle using a floor jack such as
the one shown in the illustration.
