Jacking And Tire Changing; Preparations For Jacking - Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE 2023 Owner's Manual

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

WARNING!
 Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating
the jack or changing the wheel.
 Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The
vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never put 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.
 Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on
a jack.
 The jack is designed to be used as 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.
 The jack should be used on level firm ground wher-
ever possible.
 It is recommended that the wheels of the vehicle be
chocked, and that no person should remain in a
vehicle that is being jacked.
 No person should place any portion of their body
under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with an air suspension system,
there is a feature which allows the automatic leveling to be
disabled before changing a tire. This feature can be acti-
vated through the Uconnect system
