2015 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR jacking

POWER DEPLOYABLE RUNNING BOARDS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:In extreme climates, excessive ice buildup may
occur, causing the running boards not to deploy. Be sure that the
running boards have deployed, and have finished moving before
attempting to step on them. The running boards will resume normal
function once the blockage is cleared.
WARNING: Turn off the running boards before jacking or placing
any object under the vehicle. Never place your hand between the
extended running board and the vehicle. A moving running board may
cause injury.
Note: Do not use the running boards, front and rear hinge assemblies,
running board motors, or the running board under body mounts to lift
the vehicle when jacking. Always use proper jacking points.
Note: The running boards may operate slower in cooler temperatures.
Debris such as mud, dirt and salt may become trapped in the running
board mechanism, possibly leading to unwanted noise. If this occurs,
manually set the running boards to the deployed position and flush the
system (in particular the front and rear hinge arms) with a high-pressure
car wash wand.
The running boards automatically
move when the doors are opened to
assist entering and exiting the
vehicle.
Automatic Power Deploy
The running boards will extend down and out when the doors are
opened.
Automatic Power Stow
The running boards will return to the stowed position after a two second
delay when the doors are closed.

WARNING:Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
WARNING: Always use the jack provided as original equipment
with your vehicle. If using a jack other than the one provided as
original equipment with your vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or
modifications.
WARNING: Disable the power running boards before jacking,
lifting, or placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your
hand between the power running board and vehicle as extended power
running boards will retract when the doors are closed. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal injury.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.
Park on a level surface, set the parking brake, and activate the hazard
flashers. Place the transmission in park (P) and turn the engine off.
