Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics. Drain and refill the front and rear axle fluid. If the engine stalls or you lose headway or cannot make it to the top of a steep hill or grade, never attempt to turn around. Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes. This maintenance is recommended by the manufac- turer to the owner, but is not required to maintain emissions warranty.

Underhood Safety Latch To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it.
Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the converter as an emission control device. Although not exceptional, performance is more than adequate with the V-6 engine and intelligent transmission.
