WARNING
Using the tire jack
■
Observe the following precautions.
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 pur-
pose other than replacing tires or
installing and removing tire chains.
Do not use other tire jacks for replac-
●
ing tires on this vehicle.
●
Put the jack properly in its jack point.
Do not put any part of your body under
●
the vehicle while it is supported by the
jack.
Do not start the hybrid system or drive
●
the vehicle while the vehicle is sup-
ported by the jack.
●
Do not raise the vehicle while some-
one 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.
●
Make sure to disable all functions of
the vehicle height control of the elec-
tronically modulated air suspension
and then stopping the hybrid system.

that there is no-one near the vehicle. If
there are people nearby, warn them
vocally before lowering.

Replacing a flat tire for vehicles with
power trunk opener and closer
In cases such as when replacing tires,
make sure to turn off the trunk opener
main switch (P.122). Failure to do so
may cause the trunk lid to operate unin-
tentionally if the power trunk opener and
closer switch is accidentally touched,
resulting in hands and fingers being
caught and injured.
