What to do in an emergency If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
Changing tires
䳜 Never attempt vehicle repairs in
the traffic lanes of a public road
or highway.
䳜 Always move the vehicle com
-
pletely off the road and onto the
shoulder before trying to change
a tire. The jack should be used on
firm level ground. If you cannot
find a firm level place off the road,
call a towing service company for
assistance.
䳜 Be sure to use the correct front
and rear jacking positions on the
vehicle; never use the bumpers or
any other part of the vehicle for
jacking support.
䳜 The vehicle can roll off the jack
causing serious injury or death.
䳜 Do not go under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
䳜 Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the jack.
䳜 Do not allow anyone to remain in
the vehicle while it is on the jack.
䳜 Make sure any children present
are in a secure place, away from
the road and from the vehicle to
be raised with the jack.
Tire jack
Do not place any portion of your
body under a vehicle that is only
supported by a jack since the vehicle
can easily roll off the jack. Use vehi
-
cle support stands.
Changing tires
Never attempt vehicle repairs in the
traffic lanes of a public road or high
-
way.
Running vehicle on jack
Do not start or run the engine of the
vehicle while the vehicle is on the
jack as this may cause the vehicle to
fall off the jack.
To prevent the jack from "rattling"
while the vehicle is in motion, store
it properly.
