WARNING: 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.

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.

Spare tire information

The spare tire for your vehicle is stowed under the rear of your vehicle
(except cutaway and stripped chassis models).

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