Changing tires

WARNING
Because the vehicle may slip or roll off of
a jack causing serious injury or death, take
the following safety precautions:
• NEVER place any portion of your body
under the vehicle that is supported by a
jack.
• NEVER attempt to change a tire in the
lane of traffic. ALWAYS move the
vehicle completely off the road on a
level, firm ground away from traffic
before trying to change a tire. If you
cannot find a level, firm place off the
road, call a towing service for
assistance.
• ONLY use the jack provided with the
vehicle.
• ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions on the
vehicle and NEVER on the bumpers or
any other part of the vehicle for jacking
support.
• Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on the jack.
• Do not allow anyone to remain in the
vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Keep children away from the road and
the vehicle.
