How to Jack Up a 2000 Ford Taurus

A lonely, moonlit road, in the middle of nowhere is not the place to discover that you do not know the proper jacking procedure for your Taurus. Getting the vehicle safely up, and off the ground is best learned in a calm and safe setting. Learning the proper procedure first, before you actually need it, can go a long way toward ensuring that you can safely raise and lower your Taurus when that unexpected flat tire, or other roadside emergency arrives.

Instructions

1

Place the Taurus on level ground. Engage the parking brake and put the transmission in park.

2

Locate the wheel which is diagonally opposite the wheel that is being lifted and block it. It can be blocked with a rock if necessary.

3

Locate one of the four notched sections of the rocker flange. There is one near each wheel, under the body panel, at the bottom. The top of the jack is designed to fit into this notch.

4

Place the jack under the notch and raise it by turning the handle clockwise. Guide the jack face into the notch. Continue turning the jack handle clockwise until the vehicles tire is off the ground. To lower the jack, turn the handle counterclockwise until the vehicles tire is back on the ground and the jack can be removed. When finished, be certain to unblock the opposite wheel.
