icy or slippery areas.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. Block 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.

Jacking And Changing A Tire

1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench.
2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where

the center cap covers the lug nuts, use the

lug wrench to pry the center cap off care-

fully before raising the vehicle.

3. Before raising the vehicle, use the lug

wrench to loosen, but not remove, the lug

nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn the

lug nuts counterclockwise one turn while the
