5-2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION n Using the jack Improper use of the jack may lead to death or serious injuries due to the vehicle suddenly falling off the jack. l Do not use the jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or install- ing and removing tire chains. l Only use the jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire. Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other jacks for replacing tires on this vehicle. l Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle. Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one working on or near the vehicle will be injured. n Using the jack handle Tighten all the square head bolts securely to prevent the extension parts from coming apart unexpectedly. n Replacing a flat tire Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious injury: l Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury. l Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts. The oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen, causing a serious accident. Remove any oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts. l Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 85 ft·lbf (113 N·m, 11.5 kgf·m) as soon as possible after changing wheels. Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death or serious injury. l Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the wheel while the vehicle is moving. 370
