Make sure to set the jack properly in the jack point.
Raising the vehicle with jack improperly positioned
will damage the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall
off the jack and cause personal injury.
 Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is
supported by the jack alone.
 Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel
changing.
 Do not raise the vehicle with someone in the vehicle.
 When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on
top of or underneath the jack.
 Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and
change the tire.

even a short distance can damage a tire and wheel
beyond repair.
 When jacking up or installing tire chains, be sure to
