Standard Procedure - Hoisting

Refer to Owner's Manual provided with vehicle for proper emergency jacking procedures.

WARNING: THE HOISTING AND JACK LIFTING POINTS PROVIDED ARE FOR A COMPLETE VEHICLE. WHEN THE ENGINE OR REAR SUSPENSION IS REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE, THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS ALTERED MAKING SOME HOISTING CONDITIONS UNSTABLE. PROPERLY SUPPORT OR SECURE VEHICLE TO HOISTING DEVICE WHEN THESE CONDITIONS EXIST.

CAUTION: Do not position hoisting device on any suspension component, including the front or rear suspension crossmembers. Do not hoist on the front and rear bumpers, the lower liftgate crossmember, the lower radiator crossmember, or the front engine mount.

FOR PROPER HOIST PLACEMENT REFER TO Fig 1 .

The front hoisting points for frame contact hoists are on the down standing sill flanges, approximately 200 mm behind the front wheel opening and 150 mm forward of the rear wheel opening. Under no circumstances are the front lower radiator support to be used as lift points. Wheel lifts are acceptable.
