CAUTION:
If
your car is equipped with Ever-Level air ride, it is necessary for
the car to be raised to its maximum height before jacking. This can be
accomplished by starting the engine
and·
pulling out the Ever-Level air ride
"CAR LIFT" knob located on the underside of the instrument panel to the
left of the steering column.
After the car has been (iIlly raised, the engine should be shut off. The car
is then ready for jacking. The regular method, as explained in steps 1
through 4 above, should be used in jacking up the car. The car may be
lowered to its original height by pushing in the "CAR LIFT" knob. See
page 53 for complete instructions on operating the Ever-Level air ride system.
TIRE BALANCE-Many tires are marked at the factory with a red
mark on the sidewall near the bead denoting the light point of the
casing. The valve stem is the heavy point of the wheel and the tire
should always be mounted with the mark at this
point.
If no red mark
is found on the casing this indicates
.
that the tire has been balanced
by the tire manufacturer and no special mounting is needed. Due to
irregularities in tread wear caused by sudden brake applications,
misalignment, low inflation pressures, tire repairs, etc., a tire assembly
can lose its original balance.
