Jacking Instructions

WARNING!

Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to
help prevent personal injury or damage to your
vehicle:
Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the

edge of the roadway as possible before raising the
vehicle.

Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to

be raised.

Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic

transmission in PARK; a manual transmission in
REVERSE.

Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a

jack.

WARNING! (Continued)

Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a

jack.

Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack. If

you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a
service center where it can be raised on a lift.

Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for

lifting this vehicle during a tire change.

If working on or near a roadway, be extremely

careful of motor traffic.

To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are

securely stowed, spares must be stowed with the
valve stem facing the ground.
