CHANGING TIRES
Jacking Instructions
The jack is provided for emergency tire
changing only. Follow jacking instruc-
tions to reduce the possibility of personal
injury.
WARNING - CHANGING
TIRES
Never attempt vehicle repairs or
a tire change in the traffic lanes
of a public road or highway.
Always move the vehicle
completely off the road and
onto the shoulder before trying
to change a tire. If you cannot
find a firm, level place off the
road, call a towing service
company for assistance.
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible load of the jack:
1,320 lbs. (600 kg).
Be sure to use the correct front
or rear jacking positions on the
vehicle; never use the bumpers
or any other part of the vehicle
for jack support.
Never allow any portion of your
body to get beneath the vehicle
while using the jack.
Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is supported
by the jack.
