WARNING: To help 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 (other
side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.

WARNING: Changing a tire is dangerous if not done properly.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured. Be sure to follow the directions for changing
a tire, and never get under a vehicle that is supported only by a
jack.

WARNING: Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or
changing the wheel.

1. Block the diagonally opposite

wheel.

2. Loosen each wheel lug nut

one-half turn counterclockwise
but do not remove them until
the wheel is raised off the
ground.

Before placing the jack under the vehicle, NOTE the jack locations:
