Flat tires

WARNING

D

Do not jack up the vehicle on an incline or a loose road sur-

face. The jack can come out of the jacking point or sink into the
ground and this can result in a severe accident.

D

Use only the jack provided with your vehicle. The jack sup-

plied with the vehicle is designed only for changing a tire. Never
get under the vehicle while supporting the vehicle with this jack.

D

Always turn the engine off before raising the flat tire off the

ground using the jack. Never swing or push the vehicle sup-
ported with the jack. The jack can come out of the jacking point
due to a jolt and this can result in a severe accident.

If you have a flat tire while driving, never brake suddenly; keep driving
straight ahead while gradually reducing speed. Then slowly pull off the
road to a safe place.

spare tire is installed. This could cause the nuts to become loose
and lead to an accident.

compartment after changing wheels. In a sudden stop or colli-
sions, loose equipment could strike occupants and cause injury.
Store the tire and all tools in the proper place.
