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.

WARNING: To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure to place the transmission in park (P), 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.

WARNING: Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported
only by a jack. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone

else could be seriously injured.

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.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Never use wheels or lug nuts different than the
original equipment as this could damage the wheel or mounting

system. This damage could allow the wheels to come off while the
vehicle is being driven.

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