To jack up a Lexus safely, you will need a few tools and follow some precautions. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Tools Needed:
– Jack
– Two jack stands
– Two wheel chocks
– Floor jack (optional)
Steps:
1. Park on a level surface: Find a flat and level surface to park your Lexus.
2. Engage the parking brake: Make sure the parking brake is engaged to prevent the car from rolling.
3. Secure the wheels: Place wheel chocks behind the wheels that will remain on the ground to prevent the car from rolling.
4. Locate the jack points: Refer to your Lexus owner’s manual to locate the specific jack points for your model. These are usually indicated by notches or reinforced areas on the vehicle’s frame.
5. Position the jack: Place the jack under the designated jack point and ensure it is properly aligned.
6. Lift the car: Use the jack to slowly raise the car until the wheels are off the ground. Be cautious and ensure the car is stable before proceeding.
7. Place the jack stands: Once the car is lifted, position the jack stands under the appropriate jack points on the vehicle’s frame. Lower the car onto the jack stands, ensuring they are securely in place.
8. Test stability: Gently shake the car to ensure it is stable and securely supported by the jack stands.
9. Perform the necessary work: With the car safely lifted and supported, you can now perform the required maintenance or repairs.
10. Lower the car: Once you have completed the work, carefully raise the car slightly using the jack, remove the jack stands, and slowly lower the car back down to the ground.
11. Remove the jack: Finally, remove the jack from under the car and store it properly.
Remember to always follow the instructions provided in your Lexus owner’s manual for specific guidance on jacking up your particular model. Safety should be the top priority when working on your vehicle.
