Roadside emergencies

173

In a heavily loaded vehicle

condition and/or unusual

emergency conditions such as the

loss of the tire from the wheel rim,

the vehicle may be resting so close

to the ground that it may be

difficult to insert the jack under the

vehicle at the specified jacking

location. In this event, insert the

jack under the vehicle at a point

forward or rearward of the jacking

location and slide it into the correct

jacking position location.

To lessen the risk of

personal injury, do not put

any part of your body under the

vehicle while changing a tire. Do

not start the engine when your

vehicle is on the jack. The jack is

only meant for changing the tire.

Do not use the suspension as a

jacking point.
