WARNINGS

To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure to place the transmission in park

(P) or reverse (R) for manual
transmissions, set the parking brake and
block (in both directions) the wheel that
is diagonally opposite (other side and end
of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.

Never get underneath a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack. If your
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.

Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one

provided as original equipment with your
vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including
any vehicle cargo or modifications.

Note: Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.

1.

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

2. Place the transmission in park (P) and

turn the engine off. For vehicles with a
manual transmission, place the
transmission in reverse (R) after the
engine is turned off.

E175447

3. Block both the front and rear of the

wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire.
For example, if the left front tire is flat,
block the right rear wheel.
