When Using Floor Jack
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Improperly raising only the front or rear of the vehicle with a jack could cause serious personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle.
- Before jacking up a vehicle only at the front or rear end, be sure to block all the wheels that will remain on the ground.
- After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on safety stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on the vehicle supported by a jack alone.
CAUTION:
If you apply a jack against rear suspension parts (i.e. torsion beam, etc.) or the vehicle floor, these parts may get deformed. Avoid applying a jack against any rear suspension component or the vehicle floor.
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.
