WARNING
Using the tire jack
■
Improper use of the tire jack may cause the vehicle to suddenly fall off the
jack, leading to death or serious injury.
Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or install-
●
ing and removing tire chains.
Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire.
●
Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other tire jacks for replac-
ing tires on this vehicle.
● Always check that the tire jack is securely set to the jack point.
● Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while it is supported by
the jack.
● Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack.
Do not raise the vehicle while someone is inside.
●
● When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack.
Do not raise the vehicle to a height greater than that required to replace
●
the tire.
● Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle.
● Vehicles with rear height control air suspension: Be sure to turn off the
height control and stop the engine.
Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one work-
ing on or near the vehicle will be injured.
■ Using the jack handle
Tighten all the jack handle bolts securely using a Phillips-head screwdriver,
to prevent the extension parts from coming apart unexpectedly.
