Jacking instructions

The jack is provided for emergency
tire changing only.
To prevent the jack from “rattling”
while the vehicle is in motion, store it
properly.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce
the possibility of personal injury.

Always move the vehicle completely
off the road and onto the shoulder
before trying to change a tire. The
jack should be used on firm level
ground. If you cannot find a firm level
place off the road, call a towing serv-
ice company for assistance.
Be sure to use the correct front and
rear jacking positions on the vehicle;
never use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jack support.

WARNING

- Tire Jack

Do not place any portion of your
body under a vehicle that is
only supported by a jack since
the vehicle can easily roll off the
jack.

Use vehicle support

stands.

WARNING

- Changing

tires

Never attempt vehicle repairs in
the traffic lanes of a public road
or highway.
