WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help
prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle:
Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge
of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be
raised.
Apply the parking brake firmly before jacking.
Never start the engine with the vehicle on a jack.
Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack.
Only use the jack in the positions indicated.
If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful of

To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated are securely
stowed, spares must be stowed with the value stem
facing the ground.
