(88km/h). Tire service should be obtained to
avoid prolonged run flat feature usage.

"Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" is
illuminated. Vehicle handling and braking
may be reduced. You could have a collision
and be severely or fatally injured.

Preparations For Jacking
CAUTION!
Always lift or jack the vehicle from the
correct jacking points. Failure to follow
this information could cause damage to
the vehicle or underbody components.
NOTE:
To assist with changing a spare tire, the air
suspension system (if equipped) has a fea-
ture which allows the automatic leveling to be
disabled.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface.
Avoid ice or slippery surfaces.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side
of the vehicle closest to moving traffic,
pull far enough off the road to avoid being
hit when operating the jack or changing
the wheel.
