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.

Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The

vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never put 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.

WARNING! (Continued)

The jack is designed to be used 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.

Jack Location

The jack and jack-handle are stowed under the load floor
in the cargo area.
