See illustration "Attaching the jack" on the previous page.
• Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, nonslippery surface.
• Never allow any part of your body to be extended under a vehicle supported by a jack.
• Use the jack intended for the vehicle when replacing a wheel. For any other job, use stands to support the side of the vehicle being worked on.
• Apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in the (P)ark position.
• Block the wheels standing on the ground, use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
• The jack should be kept well-greased and clean, and should not be damaged.

The jack and tools should be returned to their storage spaces. The jack should be cranked down fully so that it fits into the intended space.
