WARNING

Changing a tire can be
dangerous. The vehicle can slip
off the jack and roll over or fall
causing injury or death. Find a
level place to change the tire. To
help prevent the vehicle from
moving:

1. Set the parking brake firmly.

2. Put an automatic

transmission in P (Park) or
a manual transmission in
1 (First) or R (Reverse).

3. For four-wheel-drive

vehicles, be sure the
transfer case is in a drive
gear– not in N (Neutral).

4. Turn off the engine and do

not restart while the vehicle
is raised.
