Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION:
^ The jack provided with the vehicle is intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle, never use the jack to lift the vehicle for any other purpose.
^ Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front control arms, suspension arm brackets, rear stabilizer or differential housing. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.
^ Do not attempt to use jack pressure on either the front bumper or the rear bumper of any vehicle. Damage to the bumper covers will occur.
^ Do not allow the lift adapters to contact the steering linkage, suspension arms, stabilizer bar, or to compress the lower suspension arm stabilizer bar insulator. Damage to the suspension, exhaust and steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the lift adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.
^ Never use the differential housing as a lift point. Damage to the differential housing and cover may occur.
^ Do not lift the vehicle on the rocker panel pinch flange except at the designated lift points or body damage may occur.
^ To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on hoist without first checking for possible interference.
^ Under no circumstances should the vehicle be lifted by the front control arms or rear control arms. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.
^ Do not position the lift pads under the No.3 crossmember.
^ Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time. Damage to the power steering pump will occur.
^ Do not install brake discs that are less than the minimum thickness specified. Do not machine a brake disc below the minimum thickness specification.
^ Do not use a bench lathe to machine brake discs.
^ Do not twist or strain the powertrain/drivetrain mounts.
^ Make sure the system is warmed up to normal operating temperature, as thermal expansion can be the cause of a strain problem.
^ Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or transaxle can result. Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will result.
^ Never probe moving parts.
