WARNING: Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to

avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.

WARNING: Always use the jack provided as original equipment
with your vehicle. If using a jack other than the one provided as

original equipment with your vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or
modifications.

Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.

flashers.
