Jacking instructions
The jack is provided for emergency tire changing only.
To prevent the jack from “rattling” while the vehicle is in motion, store it properly.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce the possibility of personal injury.
WARNING
Changing tires
- Never attempt vehicle repairs 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. The jack should be used on level firm ground. If you cannot find a firm, level place off the road, call a towing service company for assistance.
- 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.
- The vehicle can easily roll off the jack causing serious injury or death.
- Do not get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.
- Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is on the jack.
- Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
- Make sure any children present are in a secure place away from the road and from the vehicle to be raised with the jack.
If you have a flat tire, the low Tire Pressure and Position telltales will come on. In this case, have the system checked by a professional workshop.
Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise to remove. Store the tire in the reverse order of removal. To prevent the spare tire and tools from “rattling” while the vehicle is in motion, store them properly.
