Jacking Instructions

WARNING!

• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.

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

• The jack is designed to use 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.

WARNING!

Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help
prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle:

•

Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge
of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.

•

Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
raised.

•

Apply the parking brake firmly before jacking.

•

Never start the engine with the vehicle on a jack.

•

Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.

•

Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack.

•

Only use the jack in the positions indicated.

•

If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful
of motor traffic.

•

To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated are securely
stowed, spares must be stowed with the value stem
facing the ground.
