WARNING!

A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve-
hicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in
the places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced immediately.

Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as far from the

edge of the roadway as possible. Avoid icy 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 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 into PARK (automatic transmis-

sion) or 1st gear (manual transmission).

5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally

opposite of the jacking position. For

example, if changing the right front

tire, block the left rear wheel.

NOTE:

Passengers should not remain in the vehicle

when the vehicle is being jacked.
