3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack
handle bar and the jack handle, until
the tire is off the ground.
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone
underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the
vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.
Do not use the jack if it doesn't work properly. Call your dealer or a
professional towing service.
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:
• Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
• Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the
weight (load) or fit the jacking point.
• Do not use while the engine is running.
• Use only where the ground is firm and level.
• Use only at the jacking points.
• Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
• Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.
