Changing Wheels

Warning!
Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious personal injury or death to you or
to bystanders.
Before changing the wheel
f If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance off
the road. Turn the emergency flasher on and
use other warning devices to alert other
motorists.
f Do not park your vehicle where it may contact
dry grass, brush or other flammable materials.
The hot parts of the exhaust system could set
such materials on fire, thereby causing both
property damage and severe or fatal physical
injury.
f Passengers must not be in the vehicle when it
is jacked up.
f Before you change a wheel, be sure the ground
is level and firm. If necessary, use a board
under the jack to ensure that the jack does not
sink into the ground.
f Set the parking brake and block the wheels
opposite the flat tire on the other side of the
vehicle.
While operating the jack
f The jack is only to be used for changing a
wheel. Do not use it as a support to work under
the car.
f The car must be jacked up only at the illustra-
ted jacking points.Lifting at any other place
may damage the vehicle or may result in per-
sonal injury. Never jack the car up by the body
or the bumpers.
f For safety reasons do not use tire inflating bot-
tles. Do not use commercially available sealant
bottles. Use only the tire inflating bottle
located in the luggage compartment.
