CAUTION
When jacking, be sure to observe the following to
reduce the possibility of personal injury:
D Follow jacking instructions.
D Do not put any part of your body under a vehicle
supported by a jack. Otherwise, personal injury may
occur.

supported by the jack.

off the jack and cause personal injury.

changing.

change the tire.

even a short distance can damage a tire and wheel
beyond repair.
