WARNINGS

Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the vehicle close to
moving traffic. Pull far enough off the

road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.

Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one

provided as original equipment with your
vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including
any vehicle cargo or modifications.

Make sure there is no lubrication
(grease or oil) on the threads or the
surface between the wheel lugs and

nuts. This can cause the lug nuts to loosen
while driving.

Note: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.

Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers.
