Floor Jack

WARNING: Do not run the engine when jacking the vehicle. The wheels contacting the ground could cause the vehicle to move. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury. Make sure the jack and jack stands are correctly located to prevent the vehicle from falling. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury. Wheel chocks should be used to prevent the vehicle from rolling and falling off the jack. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: The service jack provided with the vehicle is only intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated tire. Never use the service jack to hoist the vehicle for any other service.
