Refer to Owner's Manual provided with vehicle for proper emergency jacking procedures.
The hoisting and jack lifting points provided are for a complete vehicle. When the engine or rear suspension is removed from a vehicle, the center of gravity is altered making some hoisting conditions unstable. Properly support or secure vehicle to hoisting device when these conditions exist. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
Do not position hoisting device on any suspension component, including the front or rear suspension crossmembers. Do not hoist on the front and rear bumpers, the lower radiator crossmember, or the front engine mount.
Do not attempt to raise one entire side of the vehicle by placing a floor jack midway between the front and rear wheels. This practice may result in permanent damage to the body.
A symmetrical hoist may not work for lifting this vehicle.
It may be necessary to use the hoist pad extensions to avoid damaging the vehicle while lifting.
The air suspension system can be disabled and enabled by using the Display Screen Module (DSM) in the vehicle under Tire Jack Mode, which is the preferred method. If the disable level control routine in the diagnostic scan tool is used, it will only disable the level control (automatic and manual) for that ignition cycle. The air suspension system can also be enabled by driving the vehicle above 19 km/h (12 mph). The air suspension must be disabled prior to lifting the vehicle or performing any work.
If equipped with air suspension, disable the air suspension system.
When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used to lift the vehicle and support the raised vehicle with jack stands.
A floor jack or any lifting device must never be used on any part of the underbody other than the described areas.
