Vehicle Lift Positions, Safety Stand Positions
Front and rear
WARNING:
CAUTION:
- For vehicles with side step molding, be careful not to damage the side
step molding by hitting it with auto-lift arms or a safety stand.
- Do not use the spare tire storage space in the rear floor pan or the tie
down hook area as a jack up point, otherwise the vehicle body
could be damaged.
- Both sides of the vehicle, on side sills.

TOWING
- Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.
- A towed vehicle usually should have its drive wheels (front wheels) off
the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent
this, use wheel dollies.

- When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking
brake.
CAUTION:
- Don't tow the vehicle pointed backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal damage to the transaxle.

CAUTION:
- Don't tow with sling-type equipment. This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.

Vehicle Securing Position
- When transporting the vehicle by flat bed tow truck or trailer, secure
the vehicle to the trailer using the holes and left tiedown loop
shown in the figure.

CAUTION:
- Do not use the tie down hook on the end of the rear bumper for towing or
transporting the vehicle. The tie down
hook is used only for transporting the vehicle by ship. Using the tie down
hook could cause damage to the bumper
and the vehicle body.
