WARNING: Be sure to follow each step carefully. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

To begin, park your vehicle on a firm, level surface such as concrete or asphalt.

Never try to raise your vehicle on soft or uneven terrain. If the ground shifts or the jack changes position unexpectedly, you could be seriously injured or killed.

Make sure the transmission is in Park (or first gear if you have a manual gearbox) and that the parking brake is engaged.

Switch the ignition off and remove the key.
