WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Preparations For Jacking

• Set the parking brake and shift the transmission into PARK.
• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions
Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of
the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Remove the spare tire, jack and tools from their stored location.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise one
turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension,
then to the lug wrench.
• Retrieve the spare tire from under the
vehicle with the provided spare tire hook.
• 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.
