Jacking up the vehicle and removing
the damaged tire
WARNING
●Never get under the vehicle while it is sup-
ported only by the jack. If it is necessary to
work under the vehicle, support it with
safety stands.
● Use only the jack provided with your vehicle
to lift the vehicle. Do not use the jack pro-
vided with your vehicle on other vehicles.
The jack is designed for lifting only your ve-
hicle during a tire change.
● Use the correct jack-up points. Never use any
other part of the vehicle for jack support.
● Never jack up the vehicle more than
necessary.
● Never use blocks on or under the jack.
● Do not start or run the engine while vehicle is
on the jack, as it may cause the vehicle to
move. This is especially true for vehicles
with limited slip differentials.
● Do not allow passengers to stay in the ve-
hicle while it is on the jack.
Carefully read the caution label attached to the
jack body and the following instructions.
1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up point as illustrated so the top of the jack
contacts the vehicle at the jack-up point.
Align the jack head between the two
notches in the front or the rear as shown.
Also fit the groove of the jack head be-
tween the notches as shown.
The jack should be used on level firm ground.

Please see your Warranty Information Booklet
or Roadside Assistance I.D. Card for the toll-free
number to call (U.S.) or Warranty Information
Booklet (Canada). To start your engine with a booster battery, the
instructions and precautions below must be
followed.
WARNING
●
If done incorrectly, jump starting can lead to
a battery explosion, resulting in severe in-
jury or death. It could also damage your
vehicle.
● Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in
the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks
and flames away from the battery.
● Do not allow battery fluid to come into con-
tact with eyes, skin, clothing or painted sur-
faces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulphuric
acid solution which can cause severe burns.
If the fluid should come into contact with
anything, immediately flush the contacted
area with water.
● Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
● The booster battery must be rated at 12
volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can
damage your vehicle. ●
Whenever working on or near a battery, al-
ways wear suitable eye protectors (for ex-
ample, goggles or industrial safety spec-
tacles) and remove rings, metal bands, or
any other jewelry. Do not lean over the bat-
tery when jump starting.
● Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery.
It could explode and cause serious injury.
● Your vehicle has an automatic engine cool-
ing fan. It could come on at any time. Keep
hands and other objects away from it.
