and wheel cover.

∙ Use only the jack provided with your

vehicle to lift the vehicle. Do not use

the jack provided with your vehicle on

other vehicles. The jack is designed

for lifting only your vehicle during a

tire change.

CAUTION

Do not use your hands to pry off wheel

caps or wheel covers. Doing so could

result in personal injury.

In case of emergency 6-5

∙ Use the correct jack-up points. Never

use any other part of the vehicle for

jack support.

∙ Never jack up the vehicle more than

necessary.

∙ Never use blocks on or under the jack.

∙ Do not start or run the engine while

vehicle is on the jack. It may cause the

vehicle to move. This is especially true

for vehicles with limited slip

differentials.

∙ Do not allow passengers to stay in the

vehicle while it is on the jack.

LCE2059

Always refer to the proper illustrations for

the correct placement and jack-up points

for your specific vehicle model and jack

type.

2. Place the jack directly under the

jack-up point as illustrated so the top

of the jack contacts the vehicle at the

jack-up point. Align the jack head be-

tween the 2 notches in the front or the

rear. Also fit the groove of the jack head

between the notches.

∙ Never run the engine with a wheel(s)

off the ground. It may cause the ve-

hicle to move.

Carefully read the caution label attached

to the jack body and the following in-

structions.

The jack should be used on firm and

level ground.

1. Loosen each wheel nut 1 or 2 turns by

turning counterclockwise with the

wheel nut wrench. Do not remove the

wheel nuts until the tire is off the

ground.

3. To lift the vehicle, securely hold the jack

lever and rod with both hands. Carefully

raise the vehicle until the tire clears the

ground. Remove the wheel nuts, and

then remove the tire.

JUMP STARTING

To start your engine with a booster battery,

the instructions and precautions below

must be followed.

∙ Whenever 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 jew-

elry. Do not lean over the battery

when jump starting.

WARNING

∙ If done incorrectly, jump starting can

lead to a battery explosion, resulting

in severe injury or death. It could also

damage your vehicle.

∙ Do not attempt to jump start a frozen

battery. It could explode and cause

serious injury.

∙ Explosive hydrogen gas is always

present in the vicinity of the battery.

Keep all sparks and flames away from

the battery.

∙ Your vehicle has an automatic engine

cooling fan. It could come on at any

time. Keep hands and other objects

away from it.

∙ Do not allow battery fluid to come into

contact with eyes, skin, clothing or

painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a

corrosive sulfuric acid solution which

can cause severe burns. If the fluid

should come into contact with any-

thing, immediately flush the con-

tacted area with water.

∙ Keep battery out of the reach of

children.

∙ The booster battery must be rated at

12 volts. Use of an improperly rated

battery can damage your vehicle.
