Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Technician Safety Information

WARNING:
- The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut down prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located in the LH rear quarter trim panel area. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
- Do not run the engine when jacking the vehicle. The wheels contacting the ground could cause the vehicle to move.
- Support the vehicle prior to carrying out any procedure requiring the vehicle to be jacked off the ground.
- Make sure the jack and jack stands are correctly located to prevent the vehicle from falling.
- Wheel chocks should be used to prevent the vehicle from rolling and falling off the jack.
