The jack is designed exclusively for jacking

built into both sides of the vehicle. To help
avoid personal injury, use the jack only to lift
the vehicle during a wheel change. Never

by the jack. Keep hands and feet away from
the area under the lifted vehicle. Always
firmly set parking brake and block wheels
before raising vehicle with jack.

bracket. Always lower the vehicle onto suffi-
cient capacity jackstands before working
