Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid 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 flashers.

3. Set the parking brake.

4. Place the shift lever into PARK (automatic transmis-

sion) or REVERSE (manual transmission).

5. Turn OFF the ignition.

6. Block both the front and rear of the

wheel diagonally opposite the jack-
ing position. For example, if chang-
ing the right front tire, block the left
rear wheel.

NOTE:

Passengers should not remain in the vehicle

while the vehicle is being jacked.
