Jack Usage Precautions
To complete the Use and Maintenance
Handbook to which this supplement is
attached, given below are some instructions
on the proper use of the jack.MaintenanceMake sure grime does not build up on the
“worm screw.”
Keep the “worm screw” lubricated.
Never modify the jack.
Conditions Of Non-Use:
Temperatures below −40°C.
On sandy or muddy ground.
On uneven ground.
On steep roads.
In extreme weather conditions: thunder -
storms, typhoons, hurricanes, blizzards,
storms, etc.
NOTE:
The jack requires no adjustment.
The jack cannot be repaired, and in the
event of a fault, it must be replaced by
another genuine one.
No tool other than its cranking device may
be fitted on the jack.
WARNING!
When using the crank, make sure it turns
freely without the risk of scraping hands
against the ground.
Even the moving parts of the jack, the
“worm screw” and joints can cause
injuries: avoid contact with them. Clean it
thoroughly if dirtied with grease.
CAUTION!
The jack is a tool designed exclusively for
changing a wheel, in case of a puncture or
damage to a tire of the vehicle on which it
is fitted or on vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to change summer/winter wheels and
vice versa. Never go under the raised
vehicle. If any work under the vehicle is
necessary, contact an authorized dealer.
Incorrect placing of the jack can cause the
vehicle to drop: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than that specified on the label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised.
If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Therefore raise the
vehicle only as much as necessary for the
wheel/spare.

Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice
conditions, do not spin your vehicle's wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than
30 seconds continuously without stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “In
Case Of Emergency” for further information.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original
equipment tires to help you in determining
when your tires should be replaced.Tire Tread
These indicators are molded into the bottom
of the tread grooves. They will appear as
bands when the tread depth becomes a 1/16
of an inch (1.6 mm). When the tread is worn
to the tread wear indicators, the tire should
be replaced.
Refer to “Replacement Tires” in this section
for further information.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including, but not limited to:
Driving style
Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation
pressures can cause uneven wear patterns
to develop across the tire tread. These
abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread
life, resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement
Distance driven
Performance tires, tires with a speed
rating of V or higher, and Summer tires
typically have a reduced tread life. Rota-
tion of these tires per the vehicle sched -
uled maintenance is highly recommended
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A
tire could explode and injure someone. Do
not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than
30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30
seconds continuously when you are stuck,
and do not let anyone near a spinning
wheel, no matter what the speed.1 — Worn Tire
2 — New Tire
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced
after six years, regardless of the remaining
tread. Failure to follow this warning can
result in sudden tire failure. You could lose
control and have a collision resulting in
serious injury or death.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
238
Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire
And Wheel — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a spare
tire and wheel equivalent in look and func-
tion to the original equipment tire and wheel
found on the front or rear axle of your vehicle.
This spare tire may be used in the tire rota -
tion for your vehicle. If your vehicle has this
option, refer to an authorized tire dealer for
the recommended tire rotation pattern.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emer -
gency use only. You can identify if your
vehicle is equipped with a compact spare by
looking at the spare tire description on the
Tire and Loading Information Placard
located on the driver’s side door opening or
on the sidewall of the tire. Compact spare
tire descriptions begin with the letter “T” or
“S” preceding the size designation.
Example: T145/80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the orig -
inal equipment tire should be repaired (or
replaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at
the first opportunity. Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to
mount a conventional tire on the compact
spare wheel, since the wheel is designed
specifically for the compact spare tire. Do
not install more than one compact spare tire
and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emer
-
gency use only. This tire may look like the
originally equipped tire on the front or rear
axle of your vehicle, but it is not. This spare
tire may have limited tread life. When the
tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the
temporary use full size spare tire needs to be
replaced. Since it is not the same as your
original equipment tire, replace (or repair)
the original equipment tire and reinstall on
the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited use spare tire is for temporary
emergency use only. This tire is identified by
a label located on the limited use spare
wheel. This label contains the driving limita -
tions for this spare. This tire may look like
the original equipped tire on the front or rear
axle of your vehicle, but it is not. Installation
of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle
handling. Since it is not the same as your
original equipment tire, replace (or repair)
the original equipment tire and reinstall on
the vehicle at the first opportunity.
WARNING!
Compact and collapsible spares are for
temporary emergency use only. With these
spares, do not drive more than 50 mph
(80 km/h). Temporary use spares have
limited tread life. When the tread is worn
to the tread wear indicators, the temporary
use spare tire needs to be replaced. Be
sure to follow the warnings, which apply to
your spare. Failure to do so could result in
spare tire failure and loss of vehicle
control.

Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially
aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should
be cleaned regularly using mild (neutral Ph)
soap and water to maintain their luster and
to prevent corrosion. Wash wheels with the
same soap solution recommended for the
body of the vehicle and remember to always
wash when the surfaces are not hot to the
touch.Your wheels are susceptible to deterioration
caused by salt, sodium chloride, magnesium
chloride, calcium chloride, etc., and other
road chemicals used to melt ice or control
dust on dirt roads. Use a soft cloth or sponge
and mild soap to wipe away promptly. Do not
use harsh chemicals or a stiff brush. They
can damage the wheel’s protective coating
that helps keep them from corroding and
tarnishing.
When cleaning extremely dirty wheels
including excessive brake dust, care must be
taken in the selection of tire and wheel
cleaning chemicals and equipment to
prevent damage to the wheels. Select a
non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner for
aluminum or chrome wheels.
NOTE:
If you intend parking or storing your vehicle
for an extended period after cleaning the
wheels with wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle
and apply the brakes to remove the water
droplets from the brake components. This
activity will remove the red rust on the brake
rotors and prevent vehicle vibration when
braking.
WARNING!
Limited use spares are for emergency use
only. Installation of this limited use spare
tire affects vehicle handling. With this tire,
do not drive more than the speed listed on
the limited use spare wheel. Keep inflated
to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on
your Tire and Loading Information Placard
located on the driver’s side B-Pillar or the
rear edge of the driver’s side door. Replace
(or repair) the original equipment tire at
the first opportunity and reinstall it on your
vehicle. Failure to do so could result in
loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!

Avoid products or automatic car washes that
use acidic solutions or strong alkaline
additives or harsh brushes. Many aftermarket
wheel cleaners and automatic car washes
may damage the wheel's protective finish.
Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. Only car wash soap
is recommended.

CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, metal polishes or oven
cleaner. These products may damage the
wheel's protective finish. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. Only car wash soap is
recommended.

Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate at different loads and perform
different steering, handling, and braking
functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rota-
tion of tires. The benefits of rotation are
especially worthwhile with aggressive tread
designs such as those on On/Off Road type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to
maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride. Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the
proper maintenance intervals. The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be
corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The suggested rotation method is the “rear
-
ward-cross” shown in the following diagram.
Tire Rotation (Rearward Cross)
STORING THE VEHICLE

Observe the traction device manufacturer’s
instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed
of the device manufacturer’s if it is less
than 30 mph (48 km/h).

Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.
CAUTION! (Continued)
CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive
vehicles depends on tires of equal size,
type and circumference on each wheel.
Any difference in tire size can cause
damage to the transfer case. Tire rotation
schedule should be followed to balance
tire wear.
WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling
fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is ON.
You can be injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,
watch bands and bracelets that could
make an inadvertent electrical contact.
You could be seriously injured.
Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will
be equipped with two batteries. Both the
main and the supplemental batteries
must be disconnected to completely
de-energize the 12 Volt electrical
system.
Serious injury or death could result if you
do not disconnect both batteries. To
learn how to properly disconnect, see
your authorized dealer.
