Changing the spare tire

WARNING: When one of the rear wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or

slipping off the jack, even if the transmission 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 the

wheel that is diagonally opposite (other end of the vehicle) to the tire
being changed.
