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 flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK (automatic transmis-

sion) or REVERSE (manual transmission). On 4-Wheel

drive vehicles, shift the transfer case to the “4L”

position.

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.
