Jacking Instructions
The jack is provided only for changing a flat tire in an emergency.

Follow the lifting instructions to reduce the possibility of injury.
WARNING
Tire Replacement
- Never attempt to change a tire on a public road or highway.
- Always move the vehicle completely off the road and onto the shoulder before attempting to change a tire. The jack should be used only on a firm, level surface. If you cannot find a firm, level place on the road, call a towing company for assistance.
- Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking points on the vehicle. Never use the bumpers or any other part of the vehicle to support the jack.
- The vehicle may slip off the jack, causing serious injury or death.
- Do not go under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.
- Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is supported by the jack.
- Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is supported by the jack.
- Make sure all children are in a safe place away from the road and the vehicle while it is raised by the jack.
