CAUTION
When jacking, be sure to observe
the following to reduce the possi-
bility of personal injury:
Follow jacking instructions.
Do not put any part of your
body under the vehicle sup-
ported by the jack. Otherwise,
personal injury may occur.
Do not start or run the engine
while your vehicle is supported
by the jack.
Stop the vehicle on a level firm
ground, firmly set the parking
brake and put the transmission
in reverse. Block the wheel di-
agonally opposite to the one
being changed if necessary.
Make sure to set the jack prop-
erly in the jack point. Raising
the vehicle with jack improper-
ly positioned will damage the
vehicle or may allow the ve-
hicle to fall off the jack and
cause personal injury.
Never get under the vehicle
when the vehicle is supported
by the jack alone.
Use the jack only for lifting
your vehicle during wheel
changing.
Do not raise the vehicle with
someone in the vehicle.
When raising the vehicle, do
not place any objects on top
of or underneath the jack.
Raise the vehicle only high
enough to remove and change
the tire.NOTICE
Do not continue driving with
a deflated tire. Driving even a
short distance can damage a
tire and wheel beyond repair.
Vehicles with active height
control suspension system:
When jacking up or insta lling
the tire chains, be sure to
turn off the active height
control system and stop the
engine. Otherwise, the ve-
hicle height may change in
the automatic leveling func-
tion, resulting in an accident.
