JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

WARNING!
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is danger-
ous. 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. 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.
