Tire change procedure

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.

Refer to the instruction sheet (located 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.

6. Loosen each wheel lug nut
one-half turn counterclockwise but
do not remove them until the wheel
is raised off the ground.
