Tire change procedure

To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire,
be sure the parking brake is set, then block the wheels (both

front or both rear) on the opposite end of the vehicle from the wheel
being changed. If on a grade, block both opposite wheels on the
downward side of the hill.

If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured.

On vehicles equipped with Air Suspension, turn OFF the Air
Suspension system prior to jacking, hoisting or towing your

vehicle.

Turn off the running boards (if equipped) before jacking or
placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your hand

between the extended running board and the vehicle. A moving
running board may cause injury.

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 and changing the wheel.

If your vehicle is equipped with air suspension, refer to Message center
in the Driver Controls chapter for instructions on turning the air
suspension system off.

Refer to the instruction sheet (located in the rear floor compartment
behind the 3rd row seat with the jack tray tools assembly kit) for
detailed tire change instructions.
