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.
• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dan-
gerous. 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. Never start or run
the engine while the vehicle 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 designed to use 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.
