frame contact type hoist. The hoist must be equipped with the
proper adapters in order to support the vehicle at the proper
locations.
Caution
When service procedures require removing rear suspen-
sion, fuel tank, spare tire and lift gate, place additional
weight on rear end of vehicle or anchor vehicle to hoist to
prevent tipping of center of gravity changes.
FLOOR JACK

Front:
Under the mid point of centermember
tAWD> Under the mid point of crossmember
Rear:
Under the jack up bracket of rear floor pan
Under the rear differential
Cautions
1. Never use a jack at the lateral rod or rear suspension
assembly.
2.In order to prevent scarring the centermember
or crossmember ,
place a piece of cloth on the
jack’s contact surface (to prevent corrosion caused by
damage to the coating).
3. A floor jack must never be used on any part of the

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALUMINUM TYPE WHk&g
1. Aluminum is vulnerable to alkalies. If
a vehicle washing
detergent has been used, or salt from sea water or road
chemicals has adhered, wash the vehicle as soon as
possible. After washing the vehicle, apply body or wheel
wax to the aluminum type wheels to prevent corrosion.
2.When cleaning the vehicle with steam, do not direct steam
onto the aluminum type wheels.
When tightening nuts for aluminum type wheels, particular- ly observe the following:
(I) Clean the hub surface of aluminum type wheels.
(2) After finger-tightening wheel nuts, tighten them to specifications.
(3) Do not use an impact wrench or push the wrench by foot to tighten the wheel nuts.
(4) Do not apply oil to the threaded portions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TIRE CHAINS AND SNOW
TIRES M31GGbl
1.Use tire chains only on front wheels. Do not use tire chains
on rear wheels.
2. When using snow tires, use them on all four wheels for maneuverability and safety.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPACT SPARE TlR,E,,,,
1. The compact spare tire is designed to save space in theluggage compartment, and its lighter weight makes it
easier to use if a flat tire occurs.
2.The following instructions for the compact spare tire should be observed.
(1) Check the inflation pressure after installing the spare, and adjust to the specified pressure.
(2) Avoid driving through automatic car washes and over obstacles that could possibly damage the vehicle’s
undercarriage. Because the tire is smaller than the
original tire, car ground clearance is slightly reduced.
(3) The compact spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the compact spare
wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items
or other vehicle components may occur.
