To prevent the vehicle from
moving when you change a
tire, be sure the parking brake is
set, then block (in both
directions) the wheel that is
diagonally opposite (otherside
and end of the vehicle) to the tire
being changed.
If the vehicle slips off the
jack, you orsomeone else
could be seriously injured.
1. Park on a level surface, activate
hazard flashers and set parking
brake.
2. Place gearshift lever in P (Park)
or R (manual transaxle), turn
engine OFF, and block the wheel
diagonally opposite from the flat
tire.
