Warning
Improperly lifting your vehicle with workshop hoist or a floor jack can cause the
vehicle to fall off and cause serious personal injury.
- Always read and heed the operating instructions from the floor jack manufacturer
and legal regulations if necessary before using the floor jack to lift the vehicle.
- Never let anyone stay in the vehicle when it is being lifted or when it
is off the ground.
- Always lift your vehicle only at the designated lift points shown in the
illustrations ⇒ Fig. 176 and ⇒ Fig. 177 . Not using the designated lift points
can cause the vehicle to fall off the floor jack when heavy parts such as the
engine or transmission are removed.
- Always make sure that the vehicle's lift points lie as flat as possible
and centered on the carrier plates of the floor jack.
- Never start the engine when you have raised the vehicle on the floor jack.
The engine vibrations and vehicle movements could knock the vehicle off the
floor jack.
- If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, always make sure
that the vehicle is safely supported on safety stands intended for that purpose
that are strong enough to support the weight of the vehicle.
- Never use the floor jack as a ladder or step ladder.
- Always make sure that the weight of the vehicle is not heavier than the
lifting capacity of the floor jack and safety stands being used.

Note
- To help prevent serious vehicle damage, never lift the vehicle by the engine
oil pan, transmission housing, or by the front or rear axles or suspension.
- To help prevent damage to the underbody or chassis, always insert a
rubber pad between the hoist and the lifting points. In addition
make sure the lifting arms have enough clearance.
- The lifting arms should not touch side sills or other parts of the vehicle.
