WARNING
•The jack must correctly engage the jack
attachment.
•Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface.
•Never allow any part of your body to be
extended under a car supported by a
jack.
•Use the jack intended for the car when
changing a tire. For any other job, use
stands to support the car.
•Apply the parking brake and put the
gear selector in the Park (P) position or
reverse on models with a manual trans-
mission.
•Block the wheels standing on the
ground, use rigid wooden blocks or
large stones.
•The jack should be kept well-greased
and clean, and should not be damaged.
•No objects should be placed between
the base of jack and the ground, or
between the jack and the attachment
bar on the vehicle.
Installing the wheel
1. Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel
and hub.
2. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub.

tight. Using the lug wrench, tighten cross-
wise until all nuts are snug.

nately tighten the bolts crosswise to

5. Install the wheel cover (where applicable).
Returning the jack to its storage space
The jack (certain models) and tools should be
returned to their correct storage places after
use.
•On vehicles equipped with a jack and
spare wheel, the jack should be cranked
down and returned to its storage position
after use.
•On vehicles equipped with the tire sealing
system, the jack should be cranked down
as far as possible and returned to its stor-
age position in the foam block.
WARNING
The jack and any tools should always be
returned to their proper storage compart-
ments after use to help keep them securely
in place in the event of sudden braking, etc.
