Front Frame Jacking Points
WARNING: When jacking or lifting the vehicle, block all wheels remaining on the ground. Set the parking brake
if the rear wheels will remain on the ground. These actions help prevent unintended vehicle movement. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. The jack could unintentionally
lower. Always support vehicle with floor stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the vehicle on
an uneven or soft surface may result in vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or jackstand. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Turn off (disable) the power running boards (if equipped) before jacking, lifting or placing any object
under the vehicle. Never place your hand between the power running board and the vehicle. Extended power
running boards will retract when doors are closed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING: Front jacking point could be identified by an arrow marking on the vehicle frame. Raising a vehicle
in any other location may result in vehicle shifting or falling. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious
personal injury.

to bumper covers will occur.
NOTICE: Place blocks underneath the lifting points if a two-column hoist is used.
NOTICE: Damage to the suspension, exhaust or steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised
when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
NOTICE: To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on lift without first
checking for possible interference.
NOTICE: When raising a vehicle on a two-column hoist, use care when positioning the vehicle so that the hoisting
forks do not interfere with suspension components, mounting brackets or stabilizer mounting brackets, if equipped.
