VERY IMPORTANT THOUGH: if you are jacking the car instead of using ramps and you have the air suspension - make sure you disable it first. I didnt and had some error messages when i lifted ours to put on winter tires. Fortunately they went away after a few miles. There is a thread on that topic here somewhere.
Nothing in the owners manual stating to disable air suspension. I know previously there use to be a switch on some units to turn it off. Maybe new system is more forgiving?
