JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGING Warning!Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.
Pull far enough off the road to avoid the
danger of being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is
dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be crushed.
Never put any part of your body under a
vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get
under a raised vehicle, take it to a service
center where it can be raised on a lift.
The jack is designed to be used as a
tool for changing tires only. The jack should
not be used to lift the vehicle for service
purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on
a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or
slippery areas. Tools Location
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
spare tire, jack, lug wrench and tow
eyes. For details, contact an authorized
dealer.
Tools are stored in the trunk.

transmission in PARK.
Do not let any passenger sit in the
vehicle when it is on a jack.

the jack head squarely under the
jacking location.
3. Turn the jack screw in the direction
shown and adjust the jack head so that
it is close to the jacking location. 4. Continue raising the jack head
gradually by rotating the screw with
your hand until the jack head is inserted
into the lift point.
