Preparations for Jacking

WARNING!

Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The
vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never get any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run
the engine while the vehicle is on a jack. If you need
to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service
facility where it can be raised on a lift.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to repair a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or repairing a tire.

Jacking the vehicle should only be necessary in the event
that a tire has been severely damaged, and must be

replaced. (See TIREFIT Tire Repair section for a descrip-
tion of cuts and punctures that may be repairable with
TIREFIT.)

• Turn on the hazard warning flashers and park the

vehicle on a firm, level surface; avoid ice or slippery
areas.

• Firmly set the parking brake and shift the transmission

selector lever into PARK (manual transmission to
FIRST or REVERSE gear).

• Turn off the engine.
