Procedure notes
Jacking up your 1998 Ford Escort can be dangerous if done incorrectly. The video above shows you where the jack location is along with where the jack points and lug nut wrench are located in your Escort. The video shows how to assemble the components of the jack kit and safety precautions to take when using your jack. Most Ford jack kits include the jack, a jack handle and a lug nut wrench. If you have a flat tire in your Ford Escort, please see our how do I fix a flat tire video.
Use the owner's manual to find the Escort jacking points and this video to see additional jacking tips to help minimize the risk of injury. The best way to avoid injury is to never get under your vehicle while it is jacked up, especially if you don't have jack stands positioned in the jack stand points on your Escort. Remember also, that even if your car is jacked up properly, another car could hit it and knock it over; therefore, be sure to give careful consideration to your environment before raising your car.

请参考用户手册查找 Escort 的举车点，并观看本视频以了解额外的举车技巧，以便降低受伤风险。 避免受伤的最好办法是，不要钻入仅由千斤顶顶起的车辆下方，尤其是在尚未将支车架放置于 Escort 指定支撑点的情况下。 还请记住：即使车辆已正确顶起，也可能被其他车辆撞击而倾倒。因此，举升车辆前务必仔细检查周围环境。
