Jacking Instructions

• Always park on a hard, level surface as far as possible from the edge of the roadway before raising the vehicle.
• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
• Firmly apply the parking brake and place the automatic transmission in PARK; manual transmission in REVERSE.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being raised.
• Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on the jack.
• Do not allow anyone to sit in the vehicle when it is on the jack.
• Do not get under the vehicle when it is supported by the jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it can be raised on a hoist.
• Use the jack only in the specified positions and only for raising this vehicle during tire service.
• If you are working on or near the roadway, be extremely cautious of vehicle traffic.
• To ensure that the spare tire, whether flat or inflated, is securely stowed, the spare must be stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.
