When Using Floor Jack

WARNING: If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front or rear end, be sure to block the wheels on ground in order to ensure safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on the vehicle raised on jack alone.
CAUTION: Never apply jack against rear suspension parts (i.e., torsion beam, etc.) or vehicle floor, or it may get deformed.

In raising front or rear vehicle end off the floor by jacking, be sure to put the jack against engine front mounting member (1) or rear jacking bracket (2).

To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end jacked up, be sure to place safety stands (1) under shaded position of vehicle body (front) or body mounting stay (2) (rear) so that vehicle body is securely supported. And then check to ensure that vehicle body does not slide on safety stands (1) and the vehicle is held stable for safety's sake.
