WARNING
.Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by the jack. If it is
necessary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.
. Use only the jack provided with your
vehicle to lift the vehicle. Do not use the
jack provided with your vehicle on other
vehicles. The jack is designed for lifting
only your vehicle during a tire change.

any other part of the vehicle for jack
support.
. Never jack up the vehicle more than
necessary.
. Never use blocks on or under the jack.

vehicle is on the jack, as it may cause
the vehicle to move. This is especially
true for vehicles with limited slip differ-
entials.

vehicle while it is on the jack.
Carefully read the caution label attached to
the jack body and the following instruc-
tions.

over the battery when jump starting.
. Do not attempt to jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode and cause
serious injury.

cooling fan. It could come on at any time.
