a level place. Turn on your hazard warning flashers.

CAUTION:
Changing
a
tire can cause an injury. The vehicle can slip off the
jack and roll over you or other people. You and they could be
badly injured. Find a level place to change your tire. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Put the shift lever in "P" (Park).
2. Set the parking brake
firmly.
3. Turn off the engine.
To be even more certain the vehicle won't move, you can put
chocks at the front and rear of the tire farthest away from the
one being changed. That would be the tire on the other side of
the vehicle, at the opposite end.
The following steps will tell you how to use the jack and change a tire.
