6 Jacking up the vehicle
E00801000992
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission, turn the ignition
key to the “LOCK” position, move the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, move the selec-
tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position, turn the ignition key
to the “LOCK” position.
4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set up a warning triangle,
flashing signal lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from the
vehicle, and have all your passengers leave the vehicle.5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the
jack, place a chock or block (A) at the tyre that is diago-
nally opposite from the tyre (B) you are changing.
NOTE●The chock shown in the illustration does not come with
your vehicle. It is recommended that you keep one in the
vehicle for use if needed.
●If a chock is not available, use a stone or any other object
that is large enough to hold the wheel in position.
WARNING
!●Be sure to apply a chock to the correct tyre when
jacking up the vehicle. If the vehicle moves while
jacked up, the jack could slip out of position, leading
to an accident.

6. Place the jack under one of the jacking points (C) shown
in the illustration. Use the jacking point closest to the tyre
you wish to change.7. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange portion (D) fits in
the groove (E) at the top of the jack.
8. Remove the wheel nut wrench and bar from under the
third seat. (Refer to “Tools and jack” on page 6-10.)
WARNING
!●Set the jack only at the positions shown here. If the
jack is set at a wrong position, it could dent your
vehicle or the jack might fall over and cause per-
sonal injury.●Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft surface.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause personal
injury. Always use the jack on a flat, hard surface.
Before setting the jack, make sure there are no sand
or pebbles under the jack base.

9. Insert the bar (F) into the wheel nut wrench (G). Then put
the end of the bar into the shaft’s jack end, as shown in the
illustration.
Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until the tyre is raised
slightly off the ground surface.
WARNING
!●Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the tyre is
raised off the ground. It is dangerous to raise the
vehicle any higher.●Do not get under your vehicle while using the jack.●Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it sitting on
the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.●Do not use a jack except the one that came with your
vehicle.●The jack should not be used for any purpose other
than to change a tyre.
●No one should be in your vehicle when using the
jack.●Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is
on the jack.●Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres still on the
ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the
jack.

5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the
jack, place a chock or block (A) at the tyre that is diago-
nally opposite from the tyre (B) you are changing.NOTE●The chock shown in the illustration does not come with
your vehicle. It is recommended that you keep one in the
vehicle for use if needed.
