time. Make sure the scheduled remote start system is disabled when servicing
or working in close proximity to rotating engine parts. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Wear eye and ear protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling components or parts that
have pointed or sharp edges.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Chemicals or materials specified in this manual, if used

safety information sheet before using any material specified by this manual.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not work under the hood of a vehicle with a damaged cooling
fan, as it can separate during operation. With the ignition OFF, inspect all
cooling fans for damage, cracks or separation and replace with a new fan as
necessary. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Cooling fans may run with the ignition off. Disable the fans
before working nearby. On electric vehicles, disconnect the charging cable to
prevent unexpected fan operation. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in personal injury.
WARNING: Vehicles with engine auto start-stop technology may start
automatically with the ignition on. Make sure the ignition is off when
servicing or working in close proximity to rotating engine parts. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Serious injury may occur if the engine is accidently started by
another person during service work.
Remove the key from the vehicle to prevent unauthorized starts. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Before lifting the vehicle with a jack, make sure the jack
capacity is adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or
modifications. Identify the correct jacking points in section 100-02 of this
manual. Position the vehicle on a hard, level surface. After jacking, always
support vehicle with jack stands. Never get under a vehicle supported only by
a jack. Set the parking brake and block all wheels remaining on the ground.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unintended vehicle movement
and serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Before raising the vehicle on a hoist, make sure the hoist
capacity is adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or
modifications. Always position the hoist lift arms as shown in section 10002
of this manual. Do not use the engine to power the drive wheels unless all
drive wheels are elevated off the ground.
Incorrect hoist arm positioning or drive wheels in contact with the ground can
cause unintended vehicle movement. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Removal of heavy components (such as engines, transmissions or
axles) while the vehicle is lifted on a hoist may create a dangerous weight
imbalance. Restrain the vehicle on the hoist with chains or straps to prevent
vehicle movement. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING: Always secure transmission, transfer case, and axle assemblies
to their service jack. Avoid obstructions while lowering and raising the jack.
Improperly secured assemblies or contact with obstructions may cause the
assembly to fall off the jack, which could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always secure engines, transmissions, or other heavy components
to the support fixture with straps and wooden support blocks. Improperly
secured assemblies could fall off the fixture, resulting in serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Never support an engine by the intake or exhaust manifolds. The
engine may drop suddenly.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Turn off (disable) the power running boards (if equipped) before
jacking, lifting or placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your
hand between the power running board and the vehicle. Extended power running
boards will retract when doors are closed. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Keep solvents away from ignition sources. Solvents may be
flammable and can ignite or explode if not handled correctly. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Use tools, not fingers, to hold flagnuts. Flagnuts may slip or
spin unexpectedly when removing fasteners. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in injured fingers.

WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or
foreign material present on the mounting surface of the wheel and the mounting
surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc. Make sure that any
fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not
interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Failure to follow these
instructions when installing wheels may result in the wheel nuts loosening and
the wheel coming off while the vehicle is in motion, which could result in
loss of control, leading to serious injury or death to vehicle occupant(s).
NOTICE: Make sure to apply a thin coat of anti-seize lubrication only to
the interface between the wheel pilot bore and the hub pilot. Do not allow the
anti-seize to make contact with the wheel-to-brake disc/drum mounting surface,
wheel studs, wheel nuts, brake pads or brake disc friction surfaces or damage
to components may occur.
Clean the specified component with the specified material. Apply the substance
from the specified tube. Apply a thin coat of anti-seize lubrication to the
interface between the wheel pilot bore and the hub pilot.
Material: High Temperature Nickel Anti-Seize Lubricant / XL-2 Finger tight only at this
stage.
Install the wheel and the wheel nuts.
WARNING: Retighten wheel nuts within 160 km (100 mi) after a wheel is
reinstalled. Wheels can loosen after initial tightening. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
NOTICE: Failure to tighten the wheel nuts in a star/cross pattern can
result in high brake disc runout, which accelerates the development of brake
roughness, shudder and vibration.
NOTE: The wheel nut torque specification is for clean, dry wheel stud and
wheel nut threads.
NOTE: Final tightening to be performed with vehicle resting on tires.
Tighten the wheel nuts in the sequence shown.
