1. On models with 265/70 R15 size tires, put
the adapter stored in the tool bag on the
jack when jacking up the front side.

2. Place the jack directly under the jack-up
point.
The jack should be used on level firm
ground.3. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns by
turning counterclockwise with the wheel nut
wrench.

equipment in the vehicle.Always make sure that the spare tire and
jacking equipment are properly secured
after use. Such items can become dan-

If you try to start your engine with a booster
battery, follow the instructions and precautions
below:IIf done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting
in severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.
IExplosive hydrogen gas is always
present in the vicinity of the battery.
Keep all sparks and flames away from
it.
IDo not allow battery fluid to come
into contact with eyes, skin, cloth or
painted surfaces. 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 con-
tacted area with water.
IKeep battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
IThe booster battery must be rated at
12 volts. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle.IWhenever working on or near a bat-
tery, always wear suitable eye protec-
tors (for example, goggles or indus-
trial safety spectacles) and remove
rings, metal bands, or any other metal
jewelry. Do not lean over battery
when jump-starting.
IDo not attempt to jump start a frozen
battery. It could explode and cause
serious injury.
IYour vehicle has an automatic engine
cooling fan. It could come on at any
time. Keep hands and other objects
