Jacking instructions

The jack is provided for emergency tyre changing only.

To prevent the jack from "rattling" whilst the vehicle is in motion, store it properly.

Follow jacking instructions to reduce the possibility of personal injury.

WARNING

Be cautious as the minimum ground clearance gets lower when you store the original tyre in the bottom of the vehicle after replacing it with a spare tyre.

In particular, drive below 30 km/h (18 mph) when driving over a speed bump and on uphill/downhill/uneven road.

WARNING

Changing tyres

  • Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public road or highway.

  • Always move the vehicle completely off the road and onto the shoulder before trying to change a tyre. The jack should be used on level firml ground. If you cannot find a firm level place off the road, call a towing service company for assistance.

  • Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking positions on the vehicle; never use the bumpers or any other part of the vehicle for jacking support.

  • The vehicle can roll off the jack causing serious injury or death.

  • Do not get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.

  • Do not start or run the engine whilst the vehicle is on the jack.

  • Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle whilst it is on the jack.

  • Make sure any children present are in a secure place away from the road and from the vehicle to be raised with the jack.
