Warning!
The jack is designed exclusively for
jacking up the vehicle at the jack
tubes built into either side of the
vehicle. Use the jack only to lift the
vehicle during a wheel change. Never
get beneath the vehicle while it is
supported by the jack. Keep hands
and feet away from the area under
the lifted vehicle. Always firmly set
parking brake and block wheels
before raising vehicle with jack.
Do not disengage parking brake while
the vehicle is raised. Be certain that
the jack is always vertical when in use,
especially on hills. Always try to use
the jack on level surface. Be sure that
the jack arm is fully inserted in the
jack tube. Lower the vehicle onto
sufficient capacity jack stands before
working under the vehicle.
Changing Wheels

safe distance from the roadway.
1. Set parking brake and turn on
hazard warning flasher.
2. Move selector lever to position "P"
