Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, avoiding ice or
slippery areas.

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.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

3. Set the parking brake.

4. Place the shift lever in PARK (automatic transmission)
or REVERSE (manual transmission).

5. Turn OFF the ignition.

6. Block both the front and rear of the
wheel diagonally opposite the jacking
position. For example, if changing the
right front tire, block the left rear
wheel.

NOTE:

Passengers should not remain in the vehicle

while the vehicle is being jacked.
