CAUTION
Using the jack
Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle.
Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one
working on or near the vehicle will be injured.
Using the jack handle
Tighten all the square head bolts securely to prevent the extension parts
from coming apart unexpectedly.
Replacing a flat tire
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury.
Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in
handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
The oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen, causing a seri−
ous accident. Remove any oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel
nuts.
Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 85 ft⋅lbf (113
N⋅m, 11.5 kgf⋅m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and
the wheels may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death
or serious injury.
Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
