Jacking And Tire Changing - Jeep 2010 Commander Owner's Manual

NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down
an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C
system adds heat to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maxi-
mum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Blower
Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat
from the engine cooling system.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

WARNING!
• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.
The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you.
You could be crushed. Never get any part of your
body under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need
to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service
center where it can be raised on a lift.
• The jack is a tool for changing tires only. The jack
should not be used to lift the vehicle for service
purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on a firm
level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
