CAUTION: Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up is dangerous. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you could be badly injured or killed. Never get under a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack. CAUTION: 2. Find the jacking location from the diagrams above and corresponding hoisting notches located in the plastic molding. The front location is 8.5 inches (21 cm) from the rear edge of the front wheel well, and the rear location is 3.5 inches (8.5 cm) from the front edge of the rear wheel well. The notches may also be labeled "JACK" with an arrow pointing to the jacking location on the vehicle. Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly positioned can damage the vehicle and even make the vehicle fall. To help avoid personal injury and vehicle damage, be sure to fit the jack lift head into the proper location before raising the vehicle. 3. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the jack lift head until the jack fits under the vehicle. 4. Raise the jack until the metal flange fits firmly into the channel of the jack head. 5. Put the compact spare tire near you. 5-24
