NOTE: These illustrations are not intended to represent exact
structure of each vehicle's frame, underbody or body outline.
They are presented only to give the mechanic some point of
reference.

FRAME & UNDERBODY

The following illustrations indicate areas (parts) of
the underbody and frame which may be used to raise and support the
vehicle, using either floor jack or hoist. These points are indicated
by shaded areas on the frame. See Fig. 1: Sample Illustration.

OUTERBODY

Those points designated on the outline of the body were
specifically designed to facilitate the use of the vehicle's own jack.
These jacking points are indicated by circular dots on the outline of
the body. See Fig. 1: Sample Illustration. If floor jack or hoist is
employed, extreme care should be exercised to avoid damaging the outer
body shell.
