death or
serious injury:
Lift up the vehicle using a floor jack such as the one shown in the illustration.
Do not use the jack that was supplied with your vehicle.
Do not put any part of your body underneath the vehicle when it is supported only by the floor jack.
Always use automotive jack stands on a solid, level surface.
Do not start the hybrid system while the vehicle is supported by the floor jack.
Stop the vehicle on level, firm ground, firmly set the parking brake and shift
the
shift lever to P.

Raising the vehicle with an improperly positioned floor jack will damage the

and may cause the vehicle to fall off the floor jack.
Do not raise the vehicle while someone is in the vehicle.
When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath the floor jack.
Vehicles with electronically modulated air suspension (if equipped):
Be sure to turn off the height control and stop the hybrid system. Otherwise,
