WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
NOTE:
The jack handle attaches to the side of the jack with two attachment points. When the jack
is partially expanded, the tension between the two attachment points holds the jack handle
in place.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel
nuts by turning them to the left one turn
while the wheel is still on the ground.
3. There is a front and rear jacking location on each side of the vehicle.
4. Turn the jack screw to the left until the jack can be placed under the jacking location.
Once the jack is positioned, turn the jack screw to the right until the jack head is properly
engaged with the lift area closest to the wheel to be changed. Do not raise the vehicle
until you are sure the jack is securely engaged.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel wrench. Raise the
vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability.
