Tire change procedure
WARNING: When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park) (automatic
transmission) or R (Reverse) (manual transmission).
WARNING: To prevent the vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block both
sides of 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.
