A WARNING
- I
-You or your passengers could be injured
while changing a
wheel if you do not follow
these safety precautions:
- Position
the vehicle jack only at the desig­
nated lifting points and align the jack.
Otherwise,
the vehicle jack could slip and
cause an injury if it does not have suffi­
cient hold on the vehicle.
- A
soft or unstable surface under the jack
may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack .
Always provide a firm
base for the jack on
the ground. If necessary, use a sturdy

Using a spare tire with a tread pattern
intended for use in a specific direction
When using a spare tire with a tread pattern in­
tended for use in a spec ific direction, please note
the following:
- The direct ion of
rotation is marked by an arrow
o n
the side of the tire.
-If the spare tire has to be installed in the incor­
rect direction, use the spare tire only tempora­
rily since the tire will not be able to achieve its
optimum performance charact
eristics wit h re­
gard to aqu aplaning, noise and wear.
-
We r ecommend that you pay particular atten­
tion to this fact during wet weathe r and that
you ad just your speed to match road condi­
