Tire Chains Lifting the Vehicle { CAUTION: Do not use tire chains. There is not enough clearance. Tire chains used on a vehicle without the proper amount of clearance can cause damage to the brakes, suspension, or other vehicle parts. The area damaged by the tire chains could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and you or others may be injured in a crash. Use another type of traction device only if its manufacturer recommends it for use on the vehicle and tire size combination and road conditions. Follow that manufacturer's instructions. To help avoid damage to the vehicle, drive slowly, re-adjust or remove the device if it is contacting the vehicle, and do not spin the wheels. If you do find traction devices that will fit, install them on the rear tires. { CAUTION: Lifting a vehicle can cause an injury. The vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over you or others. You and they could be badly injured. Find a level place to lift the vehicle. To help prevent the vehicle from moving: 1. Firmly set the parking brake. 2. Put an automatic transmission shift lever in P (Park). 3. Turn the engine off. 4. Put blocks in front of and behind the wheels. { 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. 6-68
