Tire Change Procedure

WARNINGS

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
transmission selector lever is in position P.

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

selector lever in position 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.

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.

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.

Disable the power running boards
before jacking, lifting, or placing any
object under the vehicle. Never place

your hand between the power running
board and the vehicle as extended power
running boards will retract when the doors
are closed. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.

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

Park on a level surface, activate the hazard
flashers and set the parking brake. Then,
place the transmission selector lever in
position P and turn the engine off.

To remove the jack on Regular Cab and
SuperCab models:

Remove the wing nut and turn the jack
screw counterclockwise to release
pressure before removing the jack from the
bracket.

To remove the jack on SuperCrew
models:

1.

Lift both rear seat cushions.

2. Remove the insert containing the Easy

Fuel funnel from the driver's side.

3. Remove the two small wing nuts on

the passenger side.

4. Slide the plastic box toward the driver's

side and remove.

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