tation persists, seek prompt medical
attention.

Jacking up the vehicle and removing
the damaged tire
WARNING
●Never get under the vehicle while it is sup-
ported only by the jack. If it is necessary to
work under the vehicle, support it with
safety stands.
● Use only the jack provided with your vehicle
to lift the vehicle. Do not use the jack pro-
vided with your vehicle on other vehicles.
The jack is designed for lifting only your ve-
hicle during a tire change.
● Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any
other part of the vehicle for jack support.
● Never jack up the vehicle more than
necessary.
● Never use blocks on or under the jack.
● Do not start or run the engine while vehicle is
on the jack, as it may cause the vehicle to
move. This is especially true for vehicles
with limited slip differentials.
● Do not allow passengers to stay in the ve-
hicle while it is on the jack.

The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specifications at all times. It is recommended
that the wheel nuts be tightened to specifica-
tions at each lubrication interval.
