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.

If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured.

1. Park on a level surface, activate
hazard flashers and place gearshift
lever in P (Park).

2. Set the parking brake and turn
engine off.

3. Block the diagonally opposite
wheel.

Removing the jack and tools

The jack and tools are located in the
right rear of the cargo area behind
an access panel.
