HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning Flashers button is located on
the instrument panel below the radio screen.
Hazard Warning Flashers Button

Push the button to turn on the Hazard Warning
Flashers. When the button is activated, all
directional turn signals will flash on and off to warn
oncoming traffic of an emergency. Push the button
a second time to turn off the Hazard Warning
Flashers.
This is an emergency warning system and it should
not be used when the vehicle is in motion. Use it
when your vehicle is disabled and it is creating a
safety hazard for other motorists. When you must leave the vehicle to seek
assistance, the Hazard Warning Flashers will
continue to operate even though the ignition is
placed in the OFF position.
NOTE:With extended use, the Hazard Warning Flashers
may wear down your battery.
JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING PREPARATIONS FOR JACKING

1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface as far
from the edge of the roadway as possible.
Avoid icy or slippery areas.
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.

Never start or run the engine while the vehicle
is on a jack.
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.
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 being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.

JACKING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!

Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help
prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle:

Always park on a firm, level surface as far from
the edge of the roadway as possible before
raising the vehicle.
Turn on the Hazard Warning Flashers.
Apply the parking brake firmly and set an auto -
matic transmission in PARK; a manual trans -
mission in REVERSE.
Chock the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be raised.
Never start or run the engine with the vehicle
on a jack.
Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is
on a jack.
Do not get under the vehicle when it 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.
Only use the jack in the positions indicated
and for lifting this vehicle during a tire change.
If working on or near a roadway, be extremely
careful of motor traffic.
To ensure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are
securely stowed, spares must be stowed with
the valve stem facing the ground.
The stowed spare tire should always be
checked for security by pushing on it with your
hand, at the location under the rear fascia/
bumper, behind the vehicle. The spare tire
should not move when fully secured by the
winch under the vehicle.

Jack Warning Label

Placement for the front and rear jacking locations
are critical. See below images for proper jacking
locations.

Jacking Locations
1. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug
bolts with the wrench handle by turning them
to the left one turn while the wheel is still on
the ground.

2. There are two jack engagement locations on each side of the vehicle body.
NOTE:Place the jack underneath the jack engagement
location that is closest to the flat tire.

Rear Jacking Location

3. Turn the handle on the jack screw to the right until the jack head is properly engaged in the
described location. Do not raise the vehicle
until you are sure the jack is securely engaged. 4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to
the right until the tire just clears the surface
and enough clearance is obtained to install the
spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum
stability.
5. Remove the wheel lug bolts. For vehicles with wheel covers, remove the cover from the
wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off.
Then pull the wheel off the hub.
6. Install the spare tire. Lightly tighten the wheel lug bolts using the bolt install wrench.

WARNING!
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.
The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on
you. You could be crushed. Never get 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.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can
make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the
jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle
only enough to remove the tire.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not fully tighten the wheel bolts until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be
damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
