WARNING:

Changing a tire can be dangerous. The vehicle
can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you or
other people. You and they could be badly injured
or even killed. Find a level place to change your
tire. To help prevent the vehicle from moving:

1. Set the parking brake firmly.

2. Put an automatic transmission shift lever in

P (Park), or shift a manual transmission to
1 (First) or R (Reverse).

3. Turn off the engine and do not restart while

the vehicle is raised.

4. Do not allow passengers to remain in the

vehicle.

To be even more certain the vehicle will not move,
you should put blocks at the front and rear of the
tire farthest away from the one being changed.
That would be the tire on the other side, at the
opposite end of the vehicle.

When the vehicle has a flat tire (B), use the following
example as a guide to assist you in the placement of
wheel blocks (A).

A. Wheel Block

B. Flat Tire

The following information explains how to use the jack
