The following safety precautions must be observed when raising the vehicle to carry out service operations:
- Never rely on a jack alone to support a vehicle.
- Always use suitable vehicle stands to provide rigid support.
- When working beneath a vehicle, whenever possible use a vehicle hoist instead of a jack and vehicle stands.
- Make sure that the vehicle is standing on firm, level ground before using a jack.
- Do not rely on the parking brake alone. Chock the wheels and put the automatic transmission in PARK position, if possible.
- Check that any lifting equipment used has adequate capacity for the load being lifted and is in correct working order.
