WARNING!

(Continued)

• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It

could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only
enough to remove the tire.

• To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug

nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.

• 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. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired or replaced
immediately.

• A loose compact spare tire/cover assembly, thrown forward in a collision or

hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
compact spare tire with the cover assembly in the place provided.

• Verify that both retainer tabs of the wheel spacer have been properly

extended through the center of the wheel and spare tire/cover assembly.
Failure to properly engage both retainer tabs could result in loss of the spare
tire and cover assembly, which will cause vehicle damage and may cause loss
of vehicle control.

• To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug

nuts fully until the vehicle is lowered to the ground.
