Wheels and Tires WARNINGS Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. If your vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be seriously injured.

Always use the jack provided as original equipment with your vehicle. If using a jack other than the one provided as original equipment with your vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or modifications. Note: Passengers should not remain in your vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked. 3. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire.
