Jacking instructions
The jack is provided for emergency tyre
changing only.
To prevent the jack from "rattling" whilst
the vehicle is in motion, store it properly.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce the
possibility of personal injury.
Be cautious as the minimum ground
clearance gets lower when you store the
original tyre in the bottom of the vehicle
after replacing it with a spare tyre.
In particular, drive below 30 km/h (18
mph) when driving over a speed bump
and on uphill/downhill/uneven road.
Changing tyres
僅 Never attempt vehicle repairs in the
traffic lanes of a public road or high
-
way.
僅 Always move the vehicle completely
off the road and onto the shoulder
before trying to change a tyre. The
jack should be used on firm level
ground. If you cannot find a firm level
place off the road, call a towing ser
-
vice company for assistance.
僅 Be sure to use the correct front and
rear jacking positions on the vehicle;
never use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jacking support.
僅 The vehicle can roll off the jack caus
-
ing serious injury or death.
僅 Do not get under a vehicle that is sup
-
ported by a jack.
僅 Do not start or run the engine whilst
the vehicle is on the jack.
僅 Do not allow anyone remain in the
vehicle whilst it is on the jack.
僅 Make sure any children present are in
a secure place away from the road
and from the vehicle to be raised with
the jack.
