JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

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.

Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The

vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could
be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a
vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run the engine
while the vehicle 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.

The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires

only. The jack should not be used to lift the vehicle for
service purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on a firm
level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.

A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard

stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always
stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided.

Jack Location
The jack and jack-handle are stowed underneath a cover
in the rear storage bin in the cargo area.
