Chock the wheels that will stay on the ground

Check the owner’s manual for the correct jacking points

Position the jack under the proper jacking point

Raise the car slowly until the tire clears the ground

Place jack stands under the approved support points

Lower the car onto the jack stands

Gently shake the car to confirm it is stable

Never work under a car supported only by a jack

When finished, raise the car slightly, remove the jack stands, and lower it slowly
