420 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as far from the edge

of the roadway as possible. Avoid icy or slippery areas.

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 flashers.

3. Set the parking brake.

4. Place the gear selector in PARK.

5. Turn OFF the ignition.

6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally

opposite of the jacking position. For ex-

ample, 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.

NOTE: On seven-passenger models, fold the third-row

passenger seats flat. This will provide more space when

accessing the jacking tools and when operating the winch

1. Remove the jack-handle components 1, 2 and 3 from

storage and assemble them.
