Tire Changing Procedure

Preparation
WARNING!
You can be injured or killed if you try to change a
wheel too close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off
the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.
• Park on a firm, level surface well off the road to
provide ample work space. Put the transmission in P
(Park) and stop the engine. Set the parking brake
firmly and activate the hazard warning flasher.
Avoid jacking up the vehicle with occupants inside. If
the jack should fall, someone in the vehicle could be
hurt.
Instructions
1. Remove the spare tire from under the cargo floor, jack
and jack tools from under the left and right rear seat.
2. Loosen the lug nuts one-half turn counterclockwise.
3. Assemble the jack and jacking tools as shown. Connect
jack handle driver (A) to extension (B), then to the lug
wrench (C).
• Block the front and rear of the
diagonally opposite tire. For
example, if the right front tire
is being changed, block the
left rear wheel.
