WARNINGS

Never get underneath a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack. If your
vehicle slips off the jack, you or

someone else could be seriously injured.

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.

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.
