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, even if the vehicle is in P (Park).

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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.

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

1. Block the diagonally opposite
wheel.

2. Remove any wheel trim. Insert
the tapered end of the lug nut
wrench behind wheel covers or
hubcaps and twist off.

3. Loosen each wheel metal lug nut
one-half turn counterclockwise but
do not remove them until the wheel
is raised off the ground.
