Preparations For Jacking

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

slippery surfaces.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle closest 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.

5. Turn the ignition OFF.

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.

7. For vehicle equipped with Quadra-Lift® refer to

“Quadra-Lift® — If Equipped” in “Starting And Op-
erating” for further information on disabling auto-
matic leveling.
