WARNING
Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a
flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack,
make sure there are no sand or pebbles
under the jack base.

For emergencies
3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange
portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the top
of the jack.
4. Insert the bar (D) into the wheel nut
wrench (E). Then put the end of the bar
into the shaft's jack end, as shown in the
illustration.
Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until
the tire is raised slightly off the ground
surface.
WARNING
Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tire is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
Never get under the vehicle or put any
portion of your body under the vehicle
while it is supported by the jack.
Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
Do not use a jack except the one that came
with your vehicle.
The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tire.
No one should be in your vehicle when
using the jack.
Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
Do not turn the raised wheel. The tires
that are still on the ground could turn and
make your vehicle fall off the jack.
5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut
wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUTION
Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tire, to avoid scratching the wheel sur-
face.
