VEHICLE LIFTING PROCEDURES
To raise the vehicle, place the lifting equipment only at
the points indicated. Failure to use these precise
positions may result in permanent vehicle body
deformation.
Many dealer service facilities and service stations are
equipped with automative hoists that bear upon some
parts of the frame in order to lift the vehicle. If any other
hoist method is used, take special care to avoid
damaging the fuel tank, the filter neck, the exhaust
system, or the underbody.
