10. Crank it up until it is properly aligned and it is
in contact with the vehicle's jack attachment
point. Make sure the top of the jack (or the
garage lift arms) is correctly positioned in the
attachment point, with the bump on the top
of the jack in the recess in the attachment
point and the base positioned vertically under
the attachment point.
11. Turn the jack so that the crank is as far as
possible from the side of the vehicle, which
will position the jack's arms perpendicular to
the vehicle's direction of movement.
12. Raise the vehicle until the wheel to be
changed can move freely. Unscrew the wheel
bolts and lift off the wheel.

NOTE
The jack provided with your vehicle is
intended to be used only in temporary situa-
tions such as changing wheels in the event of
a flat tire. Only the jack that came with your
particular model should be used to lift the
vehicle. If the vehicle needs to be lifted more
frequently or for a prolonged period, using a
garage jack or hoist is recommended. Always
follow this device's instructions for use.
WARNING
•
Apply the parking brake and put the gear
selector in the Park (P) position.
•
Block the wheels standing on the ground,
use rigid wooden blocks or large stones.
•
Check that the jack is not damaged, the
threads are properly lubricated and it is
free from dirt.
•
Be sure the jack is on a firm, level, non-
slippery surface and that it is upright and
not leaning.
•
The jack must correctly engage in the
jack attachment.
•
No objects should be placed between the
base of the jack and the ground, or
between the jack and the attachment bar
on the vehicle.
•
Never let anyone remain in the vehicle
when it is raised on a jack.
•
If a tire must be changed near passing
traffic, make sure all passengers move to
a safe location.
•
Use a jack intended for the vehicle when
changing a tire. For any other job, use
stands to support the vehicle.
•
Never crawl under or allow any part of
your body to be extended under a vehicle
supported by a jack.
