NOTE
WARNING
Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE
The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep ones in the vehicle for use if
needed.
If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
