Vehicle Care
Caution
Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked
up is dangerous. If the vehicle slips off
the jack you could be badly injured or
killed. Never get under a vehicle when it
is supported only by a jack.
When the vehicle jacking condition is
unsatisfactory or if you do not have the
confidence to safely complete this work, see
your dealer.
Caution
Never use oil or grease on wheel nuts.
Always use correct wheel nuts.
As soon as possible, take your car to a
dealer and have the wheel nuts tightened
according to specifications.
If tightened incorrectly, the nuts might
come loose.
Caution
When using the jack, the vehicle could
become unstable and move, damaging
the vehicle and causing personal injury.

Jump Starting

by using the battery of another vehicle by
means of a jump start.

electrical knowledge that you can safely
complete this work.

dragging. Doing so may damage the
catalytic converter, the transmission or
even cause personal injury.
