JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGING
NOTE:
Your vehicle is not equipped with a jack or spare tire.
This section describes wheel removal and
installation.
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. 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 be used as a tool for
changing tires only. The jack should not be
used to lift the vehicle for service purposes.
