on or under the jack.
Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove
and change the tire.
For vehicles equipped with the height control
switch, be sure to turn the ignition switch off
before jacking. If this is not done, the vehicle
height adjustment function will operate, which
may cause an accident.NOTICE
Do not continue driving with a deflated tire.
Driving even a short distance can damage a tire
and wheel beyond repair.
