WARNING

- Changing tires

• Never attempt vehicle repairs

in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.

• Always move the vehicle com-

pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tire. The jack should
be used on a firm level
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 posi-
tions on the vehicle; never
use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jack
support.

• The vehicle can easily roll off

the jack causing serious
injury or death. No person
should place any portion of
their body under a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack;
use vehicle support stands.

(Continued)

(Continued)
• 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 pres-

ent are in a secure place away
from the road and from the
vehicle to be raised with the
jack.
