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. Do not
attempt to change a tire on unlevel,
off-road terrain. To help prevent the
vehicle from moving:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Shift the vehicle to P (Park).
3. For vehicles with four-wheel drive
with an N (Neutral) transfer case
position, 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.
5. Do not allow passengers to remain
in the vehicle.
6. Place wheel blocks, if equipped, on
both sides of the tire at the opposite
corner of the tire being changed.
To safely change a flat tire:
1. If equipped, place wheel blocks (1), as
shown, to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
2. Use the jacking equipment to change
the flat tire (2). See Tire Changing
0 298.
