Tire change procedure

To 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.

On vehicles equipped with Air Suspension, turn OFF the Air
Suspension switch prior to jacking, hoisting or towing your

vehicle.

Refer to the instruction sheet (located behind the interior trim access
panel with the jack) for detailed tire change instructions.

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

2. Place gearshift lever in P (Park)
and turn engine OFF.

3. Block the diagonally opposite
wheel.

4. Obtain the spare tire and jack
from their storage locations.

5. Use the tip of the lug wrench to
remove any wheel trim.
