Vehicle Jacking
When you are jacking the vehicle at the front locations, be certain that the jack or the jack lift pad does not contact the front fascia, front fascia air dam or the front fenders. If such contact occurs, vehicle damage may result. When jacking at selected front locations additional clearance may be required for the jacking points.
When you are lifting a vehicle with a service jack, block the wheels at the opposite end from which you are lifting. Use jackstands to provide additional support.
Front of the Vehicle
When using a service jack under the front of the vehicle use one of the following locations:
- Place the service jack pad under the rear portion of the engine cradle near the torque box locations.
- Place the service jack under the front frame crossmember, as shown.
Rear of the Vehicle
Place jackstands ONLY under strong and stable vehicle structures.
When using a service jack under the rear of the vehicle, place the jack pad on the rear suspension front mounting locations.
