9 Warning
Storing a jack, a wheel or other
equipment in the load
compartment could cause injury if
they are not fixed in place
properly. During a sudden stop or
a collision, loose equipment could
cause personal injury or damage
to the vehicle.
Always store the jack and vehicle
tools in their respective storage
compartments and secure them
properly.
Always place the damaged wheel

A vehicle with a discharged battery
can be started using jump leads and

from the following instructions can
lead to injuries or damage caused
by battery explosion or damage to
the electrical systems of both
