Jacking instructions
The jack is provided for emergency
tire changing only.
To prevent the jack from "rattling"
while the vehicle is in motion, store it
properly.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce
the possibility of personal injury.
WARNING
Never attempt vehicle repairs in
OTF060002
the traffic lanes of a public road
or highway.
Always move the vehicle completely
off the road and onto the shoulder
before trying to change a tire. The
jack should be used on firm level
ground. If you cannot find a firm level
place off the road, call a towing serv-
ice company for assistance.
Be sure to use the correct front and
rear jacking positions on the vehicle;
never use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jack support.
Do not place any portion of your
body under a vehicle that is only
supported by a jack since the
vehicle can easily roll off the
jack. Use vehicle support stands.
Do not allow anyone to remain in the
vehicle while it is on the jack.
- Changing
Make sure any children present are
tires
in a secure place away from the road
and from the vehicle to be raised with
the jack.
Do not start or run the engine of
the vehicle while the vehicle is
on the jack as this may cause
the vehicle to fall off the jack.
