1. Park your vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brake and turn off the engine.
2. Locate the jacking points on the car. On a CR-V, they are usually indicated by arrows or symbols on the side panels beneath the doors.
3. Place the jack under one of the jacking points, aligning the jack's saddle with the indicated area. Make sure the jack is stable and secure.
4. Begin to raise the vehicle using the jack. Be cautious and raise it only to a height sufficient for changing the tire or performing the desired task.
5. Once the vehicle is sufficiently elevated, place a jack stand next to the jack for additional stability. Lower the vehicle onto the jack stand to ensure it is secure.
6. Proceed with changing the tire or conducting your task.
7. When finished, remove the jack stand, lower the vehicle gently using the jack, and remove the jack.
Always consult the vehicle's owner's manual or refer to a qualified mechanic if you have concerns or if the specific jacking points or procedures vary.
