Tire replacement

1 Jacking up the vehicle
WARNING
•
Securely apply the parking brake.
•
Jack up the vehicle on firm, level ground.
If you jacked up the vehicle on a slope or
on soft ground, the jack could tip and slip
out of position, resulting in an accident.
•
Apply the jack only to the specified jacking
point. If you applied the jack to any other
point on the vehicle, it could slip out of
position, resulting in an accident.
•
Make sure there is no oil or grease on the
jack or jacking point. (Wipe off any such
contamination.) Otherwise, the jack could
slip out of position, resulting in an acci-
dent.
•
Do not start the engine while the vehicle is
jacked up. Engine vibration could cause
the jack to slip out of position.
•
Do not get under the vehicle while it is
jacked up. Doing so is dangerous because
you could be trapped under the vehicle if
the jack slipped out of position.
•
When the vehicle is to remain jacked up
for a long period, support the frame with
concrete or wooden blocks for safety.
•
Never use two or more jacks on a single
vehicle at the same time.
CAUTION
•
Do not raise the jack more than necessary.
Doing so could damage the jack.
•
Your vehicle's onboard jack is designed spe-
cifically for that vehicle. Do not use it with
any other vehicle.
•
Instructions for using and handling the jack
are affixed to the jack. Be sure to read them
before using the jack.
