Jacking instructions
The jack is provided for emergency tire
changing only.
僅 To prevent the jack from "rattling"
while the vehicle is in motion, store it
properly.
僅 Follow jacking instructions to reduce
the possibility of personal injury.

way.
僅 Always move the vehicle completely
off the road and onto the shoulder
before trying to change a tire. The

place off the road, call a towing ser
-

rear jacking positions on the vehicle;
never use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jacking support.
