Jacking instructions

The jack is provided for emergency
tire changing only.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce
the possibility of personal injury.

WARNING

tires

• Never attempt vehicle repairs

in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.

• Always move the vehicle com-

pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tire. The jack should
be used on level firm ground.
If you cannot find a firm, level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.

• Be sure to use the correct

front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never use
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jack support.

their body under a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack ;
use vehicle support stands.

while the vehicle is on the
jack.

• Do not allow anyone to remain

in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.

• Make sure any children pre-

sent are in a secure place
away from the road and from
the vehicle to be raised with
the jack.
