Tire change procedure

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.

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

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.

Refer to the instruction sheet (located with the jack) for detailed tire
change instructions.

1. Park on a level surface, activate
hazard flashers and set the parking
brake.

2. Place gearshift lever in P (Park)
and turn engine OFF.

3. Block the diagonally opposite
wheel.

4. Obtain the spare tire and jack
from their storage locations.

5. Use the tip of the lug wrench to
remove any wheel trim.
