Always refer to the proper illustrations for the
correct placement and jack-up points for your
specific vehicle model and jack type.

Carefully read the caution label attached to
the jack body and the following instruc-
tions.

1. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by

turning counterclockwise with the wheel nut
wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts
until the tire is off the ground.

2. Place the jack directly under the jack-up

point as illustrated so the top of the jack
contacts the vehicle at the jack-up point.
Align the jack head between the two

notches in the front or the rear as shown.
Also fit the groove of the jack head between
the notches as shown.

The jack should be used on firm and
level ground.

3. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack lever

and rod with both hands. Carefully raise the
vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Re-
move the wheel nuts, and then remove the
tire.

Installing the spare tire

The spare tire is designed for emergency
use. See specific instructions under the
heading “Wheels and tires” in the “Mainte-
nance and do-it-yourself” section of this
manual.

1. Clean any mud or dirt from the surface be-

tween the wheel and hub.

2. Carefully put the spare tire on and tighten

the wheel nuts finger tight.

3. With the wheel nut wrench, tighten wheel

nuts alternately and evenly as illustrated until
