the jack and seriously injure
someone. No person should place
any portion of their body under a
vehicle that is supported by a jack.

vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause

of the tire pressure sensors. Do not
use non-genuine wheels, otherwise it
may not be possible to install the tire
pressure sensors. NOTE
