WARNING
Storing a jack, a tire, or other
equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle could
cause injury. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose equipment could strike
someone. Store all these in the proper
place.
In order to reduce the chance of possible
injuries when changing a wheel, note the
following procedure and observe all
references:
ï Park on a firm, level surface wherever
possible.
ï Turn the ignition switch off and remove
the ignition key.
ï Switch on the hazard warning
flashers and apply the parking brake.
Place the automatic transmission
selector lever in position "P", or with
manual transmission engage first gear
or reverse.
ï Set up warning triangle.
ï With a wedge block or any available
block of wood or a rock, block the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
ï Use the jack only when changing
wheels.
CAUTION
ï Never crawl under a jacked-up
vehicle.
ï Never start or run the engine while
the vehicle is supported by jack.
ï No person should remain in a
vehicle that is being jacked.
ï Do not jack up the vehicle on an
inclined surface.
ï Do not raise the vehicle with the
jack in a location other than under
the notch closest to the wheel you
are changing.
ï Do not get bodily under a vehicle
that is supported only by a jack:
use vehicle support stands.
ï To eliminate the possibility of the
jack, jack handle and tools rattling
while the car is moving, stow them
properly.
ï When cleaning the plastic wheel
covers, wash with plenty of water
and use a sponge, chamois of soft
cloth to prevent scratching or
damaging the finished surface.
ï Call a garage or motoring service
for assistance where conditions
are not satisfactory for jacking the
car or if you are not confident of
completing the task safely.
