Stopping and securing the vehicle

1. Park on a level surface, set the
parking brake and activate the
hazard flashers.

2. Place the gearshift lever in P
(Park) (automatic transmission) or
R (Reverse) (manual transmission)
and turn the engine off.

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) (automatic
transmission) or R (Reverse) (manual transmission).

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.
