Handling the Unexpected
If a Tire Goes Flat Changing a Flat Tire
How to Set Up the Jack ■
1. Place the jack under the jacking point
closest to the tire to be changed.
2. Turn the end bracket (as shown in the
image) clockwise until the top of the jack
contacts the jacking point.
Make sure that the jacking point tab is
resting in the jack notch.
3. Raise the vehicle, using the extension bar
and the jack handle, until the tire is off the
ground.
Changing a Flat Tire
Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the
vehicle.
Use the jack provided in your vehicle.
Other jacks may not support the weight ("load") or
their shape may not match the jacking point.
The following instructions must be followed to use
the jack safely.
Do not use while the engine is running. •
Use only where the ground is firm and level. •
Use only at the jacking points. •
Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack. •
Do not put anything on top of or underneath •
the jack.
WARNING
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack,
seriously injuring anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a
tire exactly, and never get under the
vehicle when it is supported only by
the jack.
