Preparations For Jacking; Jacking Instructions - Chery Automobile User Manual

Preparations For Jacking

• Park the vehicle on a firm, level sur-
face. Avoid steep, icy, or slippery ar-
eas.
• Set the parking brake firmly. For a
manual transaxle equipped vehicle,
place the transaxle in NEUTRAL.
• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
• Turn off the engine.
• Put wheel blocks at the front and rear
of the tire diagonally opposite the tire
being changed. For example, if chang-
ing the right front tire, block the left
rear wheel.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the road close to moving traf-
fic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when op-
erating the jack or changing the tire.

Jacking Instructions

• Remove the spare tire, jack, and jack-
handle from the trunk.
• Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel
nuts on the wheel with the flat tire.
Turn the wheel nuts counterclockwise
while the wheel is still on the ground.
• Place the jack underneath the lift area
that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the
jack screw clockwise to firmly engage
the jack saddle with the lift area of
the sill flange.
