Emergency assistance
& WARNING
You or your passengers could be injured while changing a wheel if you do not follow these
safety precautions :
- If you have a flat ti re, move a safe d ista nee
off the road . Turn off the engine, turn the
emergency flashers on and use other warn·
ing devices to alert other motorists.
- Make sure that passengers wait in a safe
place away from the vehicle and well away
from the road and traffic.
- To help prevent the vehicle from moving
suddenly and possibly slipping off the jack,
always fully set the parking brake and block
the front and back of the wheel diagonally
opposite the wheel being changed with the
folding chocks or other objects. When one
front wheel is lifted off the ground, placing
the Automatic Transmission in "P" (Park)
will
not prevent the vehicle from moving.
- Before you change a wheel, be sure the
ground is level and firm. If necessary, use a
sturdy board under the jack .
- Always store the vehicle tool kit, the jack
and the replaced tire in the luggage com­
partment
